Touring Cusco with GuruWalk Joao & Rody

Good day! We are 2 professional and official tourism guides; with 6 years of experience, we are Daniel Joao Amézquita Vargas (Spanish-speaking groups only) and Rody Hilario (English-speaking groups only). We never conduct bilingual tours, always in one language, either Spanish or English only.

We consider it very important to acquire knowledge and always stay updated on new studies of the culture of my ancestors in Peru. This way, I can convey a lot when telling you part of the history, along with the archaeological sites scattered throughout the beautiful city of Cusco, which are not possible to visit by car. They can only be explored in depth by taking a walking tour, which is not tiring but rather entertaining and full of new theories to better understand and comprehend the mythical Inca civilization. Of course, the tour is very fun because I consider myself very sociable, especially when I meet people from other countries, as I can learn a lot from them and thus not only be a professional guide but also create a bond of friendship.

Our tour begins at the main square of Cusco (Plaza de Armas). We take a tour explaining part of the infrastructure and some memorial plaques that many do not notice their existence and significance. For example, there in the Plaza de Armas, there is a tomb that many travelers do not notice, and if they do, they do not know whose it is or why it is there. Like this detail, there are many streets with very curious names, as well as much Inca infrastructure beneath colonial infrastructure. This and many more details are part of the explanation, very well-founded by me so that you can understand the reason for all this.

We continue the tour by entering and visiting more archaeological sites like the famous 12-angle stone in the palace of the third Inca ruler (Lloque Yupanqui), and thus we advance the tour visiting many famous streets before entering the famous San Blas neighborhood where we will find much colonial-style decoration, excellent views of the city of Cusco can be found there along with narrow paths from the Inca and colonial era, of course with detailed explanations and excellent photographs. Continuing the tour until reaching San Cristóbal, this is where we will find the best panoramic view of Cusco along with its explanation and photographs, and thus continuing until returning to the Plaza de Armas of Cusco where we started the tour, we conclude with a pisco sour toast as a courtesy to the traveler.

The tour will last approximately between 2 hours to 2 hours and 30 minutes, absolutely filled with good energy and professional explanation.
