Discover Cusco on foot during a 2.5-hour walking tour through its historic streets, traditional neighborhoods, and lively local areas. The tour begins and ends at Cusco’s Plaza de Armas, where you will meet your guide, who will accompany you throughout the experience, answer your questions, and share stories, local insights, and recommendations to help you make the most of your stay.

You will begin at Plaza de Armas and walk toward the 12-Angled Stone, where you will learn about the precision of Inca stonework and make your first stop for photos. Your guide can also help take photos during the tour so you can keep memorable moments of your visit.

Continue walking through traditional streets to the Sapantiana Aqueduct, where you will learn about this historic hydraulic structure and have time to enjoy the surroundings and take photos. You will then walk along picturesque 7 Borreguitos Street, one of the most charming photo spots on the route, before continuing to the traditional San Blas neighborhood.

In San Blas, discover the artistic atmosphere of this neighborhood, known for its local artisan tradition. Your guide will show you some of its artisan spaces and take you to a local shop where you can find different handicrafts and souvenirs from Cusco at affordable prices. You can compare products, ask questions, and shop if you find something you like, but purchasing anything is completely optional and is not required as part of the tour.

Throughout the experience, you will have several opportunities to take photos, discover details that you might otherwise miss, and ask your guide any questions about Cusco, including places to visit, local food, transportation, shopping, and other activities you may want to enjoy during your stay.

Finally, you will walk back to Plaza de Armas, where the tour ends. Before saying goodbye, your guide can give you personalized recommendations for other places to visit, restaurants, markets, shopping areas, and experiences to continue exploring Cusco on your own.

More than a simple sightseeing tour, this experience allows you to discover Cusco on foot with a local guide who stays with you from beginning to end.
