Hidden Treasures: Underrated Stops on Cusco City Tours

When exploring Cusco, most visitors focus on famous landmarks like Sacsayhuamán and Qorikancha. However, Cusco city tours offer hidden gems that reveal the city’s rich history and vibrant culture beyond the well-known spots.

One such underrated stop is San Blas, a charming artisan district filled with narrow cobblestone streets, local craft shops, and stunning city views. It’s the perfect place to experience Cusco’s artistic soul. Another must-visit is the Temple of the Moon, a lesser-known Inca site nestled in the hills. This mystical place, believed to have been used for ceremonies, provides a peaceful escape from the bustling city.

For a taste of local life, head to San Pedro Market, where you can sample fresh Andean fruits, sip on a traditional chicha drink, and browse handcrafted souvenirs. If you’re interested in colonial history, visit San Cristóbal Church, a small yet stunning church offering panoramic views of Cusco.

At Peru Treks, we go beyond the ordinary, ensuring our Cusco city tours include these hidden treasures for a more immersive experience. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an adventure seeker, or a culture lover, Cusco has so much more to offer than meets the eye.

Five infrared images from yesterday's excursion to the Lower Cathedral Valley area of Capitol Reef National Park. The two prominent monoliths seen below -- the Temple of the Moon and the Temple of the Sun -- as well as the towers and spires that abut the western cliffs of the valley, are comprised of fine-grained red, orange and ocher sands of the Entrada formation. The color of these "cathedrals" are the result of iron oxide. Originally laid done some 160 million years ago -- in the middle of the Jurassic era -- the Entrada was formed from extensive tidal flats that covered most of the region, resulting in a large amount of sandy mud deposition. Where dinosaurs once roamed, we now wander. #clayhausphotography #capitolreefnationalpark #templeofthesun #templeofthemoon #cathedralvalley #infraredphotography #leicaphotography (at Temple of the Sun) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmZOjQIJu_p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
