Itinerary
10:00 · Meet at the Plaza de Armas
The walking tour starts in Cusco's Plaza de Armas, the very spot where the Spanish founding of the city was declared over the original Inca square.
✓ Includes: transport + local guide.
10:15 · Walking tour of the Historic Center
Walking the Historic Center means crossing centuries in a few blocks: colonial façades built directly onto polished Inca stone walls, narrow streets and carved wooden balconies.
✓ Includes: transport + local guide.
11:30 · San Pedro Market
San Pedro Market has been Cusco's central market for over a century: stalls of exotic fruit, medicinal herbs, cheese and street food, all under one iron roof.
✓ Includes: transport + local guide.
12:30 · Hatun Rumiyoc Street
The twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street is one of the most cited examples of Inca engineering: a single block carved with twelve corners that fit perfectly against its neighbors, with no mortar at all.
✓ Includes: transport + local guide.
13:30 · Tour ends at the Plaza de Armas
The tour ends where it began, back in the Plaza de Armas, the whole history of the Inca-colonial center now covered on foot.
