Cusco Free City Tour
Cusco Free City Tour
We'll meet at the indicated time in the centre of Cusco and begin our free tour, heading back to the origins of the city, when it was founded by the indigenous Inca civilization.
We'll walk along Cusco's strees until we reach the Plaza de San Francisco, where we'll see its spectacular botanical garden filled with plants native to the Andes region. Plants such as llaulli, el yacon, cedroncillo, molle and even queuña are some of the highlights of this beautiful botanical garden.
From here we'll head onto the Colegio Nacional de Ciencias y Artes, the oldest public school in Cusco, founded by Simón Bolívar in 1825. We'll continue the tour, passing by the Arch of Santa Clara, representative of the city's colonial style.
Our next stop will be the San Pedro Market, the perfect place for an initiation into local cuisine! Then the free tour continues around one of the most important squares in the city: Plaza de Armas. It's here that you can find the Compañía de Jesús Cathedral—built on the site of ancient Inca ruins.
The last two stops will be at the Palace of the Inca Pachacútec and the exterior of the Church of Santo Domingo and the temple of Qoricancha. We'll learn all about these historical and religious sites.
Finally, we'll end the free tour of Cusco after between 2 and 2.5 hours.
