Visiting the City Tour in Cusco is one of the best ways to get to know the city because in a few hours it gives you a clear view of the most important things about its history, culture and architectural grandeur. It’s not just a sightseeing tour: it’s a “living class” of Inca and colonial history.
The main reason it is so recommended is that it connects two worlds that coexist in Cusco: the Inca legacy and the Spanish colonial influence. In a single half day you understand how the city evolved and why it is considered the “Archaeological Capital of America”.
