Discovering the Traditional Neighbourhoods of Cusco
🏙️ Cusco’s Traditional Neighbourhoods: Experience the Authentic City with Peru Latin Tour
When people think of Cusco, the first things that come to mind are Machu Picchu, Sacsayhuamán or the Qorikancha. But did you know that the true soul of the city lies in its traditional neighbourhoods — in its cobbled streets, its colourful corners, and in the places where the heartbeat of the ancient Tawantinsuyo still echoes?
At Peru Latin Tour, we invite you to discover a different side of Cusco — more local, more authentic, and deeply unforgettable. Through our exclusive walking tour of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods, you’ll experience something that no conventional tour can offer.

✔️ Access to artisan workshops, local markets and scenic viewpoints

🧭 1. Hatunrumiyoc Street – Where the Stones Speak
📍 Location: Historic Centre of Cusco
One of Cusco’s most iconic spots, home to the famous Twelve-Angle Stone — a masterpiece of Inca engineering that has withstood the test of time.
👣 On your Peru Latin Tour walk, you’ll not only see this architectural gem, but also hear the legends behind it, stop for the best photos, and browse the colourful artisan stalls that bring the street to life.
🌉 2. Choquechaka – The Golden Bridge Between Past and Present
📍 Location: Between San Blas and the Plaza de Armas
This charming neighbourhood connects two of Cusco’s most vibrant areas. Its name means “Golden Bridge” — a fitting description for this bohemian route filled with art, culture, and tranquillity.
🎨 With Peru Latin Tour, you can enjoy cultural events, art fairs, and workshops with local artists. A perfect route for travellers seeking more than just sightseeing!
🦊 3. Atoqsayk’uchi – Where the Fox Tires... and the Traveller is Inspired
📍 Location: Narrow streets of the San Blas neighbourhood
This hidden gem is ideal for adventurous travellers. Its Quechua name evokes an Andean legend, and its charm lies in the stairways that wind between old houses and offer surprising views.
💡 Our guide will take you through these streets while sharing ancestral stories and showing you the everyday life of the less touristy side of Cusco.
💰 4. Qoricalle – The Street of Gold
📍 Location: Near Tecsecocha and Suecia streets
A legendary street said to have hidden gold dust beneath one of its houses. Whether myth or reality, its location offers a stunning view of the Church of the Society of Jesus.
📸 Love urban photography with a colonial twist? This stop will be one of your favourites.
🐴 5. Asnoqch’utun – The Road Straight to San Blas Market
📍 Location: Opposite Pantaq Street
Its name means “donkey’s snout” in Quechua — a perfect example of Cusco’s modern cultural fusion. This lively street leads directly to San Blas Market, the ideal place to try fresh fruits, juices, and traditional dishes.
🥭 In our tours, this stop includes a tasting of local products. Delicious!
🔁 6. Pantaq – The Alley That Teaches You to Get Lost (and Discover)
📍 Location: Behind San Blas neighbourhood
Can you imagine walking down a street that looks like a shortcut… but isn’t? That’s Pantaq. Its Quechua name means “the one who is mistaken,” because many try to use it as a shortcut and end up at a dead end.
🌿 Even so, it’s one of Cusco’s most picturesque corners, filled with boutique hostels and hidden cafés. A true gem for urban explorers
🌈 7. K’uichipunku – The Rainbow Gate of Qorikancha
📍 Location: Near the Temple of the Sun (Qorikancha)
Its name says it all: “Rainbow Gate.” This street shines with energy, history, and life. It’s where ancient Cusco meets the modern city.
🛏️ With Peru Latin Tour, we take you here for a stop at a traditional café or hot chocolate, plus guided visits to the Qorikancha and nearby museums.
