At Casa Cartagena, we understand that true luxury lies in access to experiences that transform perspective. Our "Art Routes: Treasures of Cusco" is an intimate invitation to discover the artistic richness of the ancient capital of the Inca empire, curated especially for guests who appreciate beauty in its most authentic manifestations.
During two hours of cultural immersion, our expert historian in Cusqueño art will guide you through an exclusive tour that transcends traditional circuits. A journey that begins with expressions of pre-Columbian art from cultures like Mochica, Chimú, Nazca, and Inca, and culminates with contemporary manifestations that connect ancestral tradition with modern expression.
Your experience begins at Casa Cartagena with a personalized introduction about the evolution of Cusqueño art, from its pre-Columbian roots to contemporary expressions. At our first destination, you will discover the symbolism and artistic legacy of millenary civilizations through masterpieces in ceramics, textiles, and goldsmithing that whisper stories of ingenuity and ancestral beauty.
At our second stop, you will explore how Inca art transformed with the arrival of the Spanish, contemplating quipus, sculptures, and paintings that fuse Andean iconography with new influences. Our third destination will immerse you in the celebrated Cusqueña School of Painting, where you can appreciate the extraordinary fusion between European and Andean art, observing baroque details that narrate the story of two converging worlds.
The experience culminates in a specialized space where contemporary Amazonian art establishes a fascinating dialogue between the ancestral and the modern. Here, paintings, sculptures, and pieces created with natural materials demonstrate how Peruvian artistic tradition continues to evolve without losing its essence.
