Hello! I’m Jose Martinez, a licensed local tour guide in Cusco. I’d love to walk with you through some of the most unique and authentic sites in Cusco’s historic downtown — all in just two hours and 15 minutes.
I created this “pay what you want” walking tour to share a local perspective on Inca times, the Spanish colonial period, and today’s modern Cusco. Along the way, I’ll show you hidden spots and give tips on where to eat, shop, and explore — places locals truly enjoy.
This is the best route through Cusco.
Check below to see the places we’ll visit:
-
I only start the tour from the Inca statue.
-
The map of Inca Cusco, designed in the shape of a puma.
-
The very beginning of the Inca Trails, located in town.
-
The unique Sun Street, with perfectly fitted stone walls that still stand today.
-
The Sun Temple (Qoricancha), meaning “Golden Block” — where we’ll talk about Inca religion, rituals, and admire the finest Inca stonework.
-
The remains of an Inca palace, offering insight into Inca housing and city planning.
-
A block featuring gigantic stones, some weighing up to six tons, showcasing the advanced techniques used by Inca builders.
-
The famous Twelve-Angled Stone.
-
The San Blas neighborhood square, plus the nearby viewpoint overlooking Cusco.
Meeting Point: I’ll be waiting for you in front of the Inca statue in the center of the Main Square (Plaza de Armas), downtown Cusco, always wearing a red “Free Walking Tour Cusco” T-shirt.
