Overview
This tour is ideal if you have limited time here!
Starting your Cusco journey at the Inka Museum is a great way to get a better understanding of all aspects of Inca culture. This is a must-visit spot for anyone interested in the fascinating history and culture of the Inca Empire.
On the other hand, the Cathedral of Cusco is an awe-inspiring example of colonial architecture and art, blending Spanish and indigenous cultures. Its towering spires, ornate altars, intricate woodwork, and beautiful stained glass windows make it a must-see destination for any art lover or history buff visiting Cusco.
At last, San Pedro market is a vibrant and lively marketplace that offers visitors a cultural experience, with colorful textiles and handicrafts.
Of all the tours I've experienced in Cusco, this one stands out because the Inka museum has become like a second home to me. Having spent a over a year going there as a tour guide, I have found that the museum offers the perfect starting point for any tour in the city.
