Join a Cusco Free Walking Tour and be taken on a journey through the ancient Inca capital. Starting in the historical center of Cusco in the Plaza de Armas, the heart of the city, in the plaza you will see a plethora of colonial architecture that reflects the time of the Spanish conquistadors. You will come across notable buildings such as the house of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega considered one of the most influential Peruvian chroniclers of the colonial period. Another highlight is the legacy of the Inca Pachacutec, who transformed the Kingdom of Cusco into the Inca Empire. Stop and marvel at the Coricancha, the Golden Temple, the former centerpiece of the Inca Empire. Once the conquistadors took Cusco, they demolished much of the temple and built a church, Santo Domingo. What remains of the temple is an important link to the Inca past.
