At Casa Cartagena, true luxury lies in exclusive access to experiences that reveal a city's soul through its streets. Our "Streets with History: Cusco's Secrets" is an intimate invitation to discover the hidden narratives that shaped the Imperial City, from Inca urban planning to colonial transformation.
During two hours of urban exploration, our historian specialized in Cusco's urban history and legends will guide you through secret passages and forgotten corners. An exclusive walking journey that transcends tourist paths, designed for guests who understand that every street holds mysteries waiting to be unveiled.
Your experience begins at Casa Cartagena, where our expert will introduce you to Cusco's urban evolution from the legendary Qhapaq Ñan road network to its colonial and republican transformation. You'll discover mystical serpent carvings with their hidden meanings, walk through streets where Inca nobility once resided, and explore passages that witnessed the meeting of two civilizations.
Uncover the secrets of anti-seismic Inca construction techniques still visible in original walls, learn about ceremonial plazas transformed into colonial squares, and hear legends that have been whispered through generations in these very streets.
Upon returning to Casa Cartagena, enrich your journey with:
