What to do and see in Cusco, Cusco Region: The Best Historic Walking Areas

September 5, 2021 Tynisha Seiler

Incan majesty and Andean baroque exist side-by-side in Cusco's stone streets, epitomized by the Qoriacancha palace and the church of Santo Domingo flanking the Plaza de Armas. In this high-altitude melting pot of Amerindian and mestizo culture, you'll find extraordinary textiles, lively summer festivals and archeological wonders.

San Blas

This traditional old quarter of Cusco is the city's most picturesque district characterized by narrow and steep streets, colonial houses built with walls of Incan stone and numerous art workshops.

So interesting to walk the narrow streets, observe the Incan stones providing support for the buildings. Great local restaurants. Be prepared for street vendors to follw you with their wares. Have a firm “no thank you” or Sols ready as they are persistent.

This settlement is vast and predates the Inca times. The stone work is so good, the different areas are easy to walk round, though its best to wear good shoes as ground is rather uneven. The interpretative boards are interesting but you get more from a visit here is you have a guide who can explain the many areas to you. It is every bit as interesting as the more popular Inca sites, and a little off the beaten track. We only saw a handful of visitors on the day we went. It was so peaceful with amazing views.
