Start Your Journey in the Heart of the Andes
For the explorer of refined taste, every step in Cusco tells a story. Here, walking is not just movement—it is immersion. And when it’s paired with a luxurious picnic and ancient ruins, it becomes a soul-stirring experience.
1. Sacsayhuamán: Where Stone Holds Memory
Just minutes from Casa Cartagena, your journey begins at Sacsayhuamán. This magnificent fortress of colossal stones defies logic and evokes awe. If fortune smiles, friendly alpacas might join your path, adding charm to the mystery.
2. Through Sacred Paths: Qenqo and the Temple of the Moon
The trail continues to Qenqo, a ceremonial labyrinth carved in stone. Then on to the enigmatic Temple of the Moon—a serene space where nature and history echo in harmony. Ideal for reflection and wonder.
3. The Art of Pausing: A Private Andean Picnic
Somewhere along the way, a curated picnic awaits: artisanal cheeses, rustic breads, seasonal fruits, and a carefully selected wine. It's not just a meal—it's a moment of peace, of refined indulgence under Andean skies.
4. A View from Above: Cristo Blanco to San Blas
Descending to the Cristo Blanco viewpoint, the city of Cusco unfolds like a living painting. From there, the journey ends in San Blas—Cusco’s artisan quarter, full of soul, color, and quiet inspiration.
