Cusco In-A-Day

The Inca’s Capitol

Cusco Plaza de Armas

The Imperial Capitol of Cusco is best done on foot. Especially if you have only one day, you’ll want to stick to the historical center.

Morning

Have breakfast at La Valeriana then visit the San Pedro Market. Next, take a taxi (or walk) to the Qorikancha to see Inca and colonial architecture together. If you have time, visit the Traditional Textile Center of Cusco next to the Qorikancha’s gardens.

Lunch

Visit San Blas for lunch and grab an Alpaca burger at Chakruna Native Burgers, or check out alternative recommendations for San Blas restaurants.

Afternoon

Walk to the Museo de Arte Precolombiano to see the best art and artifacts from Incan and Pre-Inca times. From Chakruna or anywhere on the San Blas plaza, walk up Carmen Alto, down to Choquechaka and through the Instagrammable 7 Culebras.
