Hello, this is Jose Martinez, an authorized former hiking tour guide eager to walk with you through the landmarks of downtown Cusco in 2 hours and 15 minutes. I decided to offer a “pay what you want walking tour” because I genuinely enjoy sharing a “native version” of Incan, Spanish, and modern facts about Cusco’s Historical Center. I will also show you hidden sites, places to eat, shopping spots, and recommendations for where to explore on your own.
The best itinerary in Cusco town. Check below the places you will visit:
-
I only begin walking in front of the Inca statue located in the center of the Main Square (Plaza de Armas).

The map of the Incan town of Cusco, which is shaped like a puma.

The starting point of the Inca trails within the town.

The unique Sun Street, featuring a wall constructed stone by stone.

You will learn how to prepare the Inca’s corn beer and other drinks (Monday to Saturday).
