Description
We will start our real-time, virtual tour with a beautiful panoramic view of Cusco city from Mirador San Blas, followed by a stroll across cobbled stone streets and alleyways of the neighbourhood that are not available to regular tourists.
At Plaza San Blas, enjoy a view of its Church’s facade and a whole overwhelming array of fascinating local crafts, since this is the artist's district after all. Then take a stroll through Cuesta San Blas street to view the seamless juxtaposition of Inca-Spanish-Arab architectural styles, as you spot charming balconies, Inca walls and probably some llamas & alpacas walking down the streets. Going through through Hatun Rumiyoc street, I will introduce you to the “12-angled stone” carved by the Incas. Then, we will continue towards Plaza Nazarenas to enjoy additional views of the blend between Inca and European architectures via their beautiful building facades. We will say our final goodbyes at the main square of Cusco, the Plaza de Armas, which showcases the beautiful facades of the Cathedral and the Jesuit Church. The square has always been the centre of our most symbolic events, from the coronation of the Inca Kings in the past, to our current processions, street fairs and even riots!
