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.

Reviewed By FarAway25489

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.

Barranco

Reviewed By Susanorkide - Fredensborg, Denmark

I absolutely loved this bohemian district close to the ocean with a lot of street art, artists and artisans. Barranco has beautiful and old architecture. I was there, on my last day in Lima, January 1, so it was pretty crowded. Nevertheless, I enjoyed to walk around the neighbourhood, and it’s definitely worth a visit.

Balneario La Punta

Located outside of Lima in the constitutional province of Callao, La Punta is a peninsula surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and, hence, famous for its seafood. Grab a seat with a view, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere these traditional neighborhoods offer.

Reviewed By russypooh - Long Beach, United States

Putucusi “Happy Mountain” is one of the hidden mountains that surrounds Machu Picchu because very few people have visited. The roads are steep, however once at the top you can appreciate all the beauty of the landscape and a viewmthat not many people have been able to photograph.
