En las alturas de la ciudad del Cusco se encuentra el acueducto colonial de Sapantiana una joya de la arquitectura inca que perdura a lo largo de los siglos.
Este majestuoso acueducto es un vivo ejemplo del ingenio y la destreza de la civilización incaica y la muestra de que sus construcciones se supieron adaptar al medio en el que se encontraban aprovechando al máximo los recursos naturales creando obras funcionales y hermosas.

Este acueducto y sitio arqueológico fue construido durante la época virreynal y española en el siglo XVI y es una muestra de la unión entre las culturas indígena y europea.
La relevancia histórica de este lugar permite que los visitantes tengan una oportunidad única para observar las estructuras talladas en piedra combinado con un sistema hidráulico bien conservado.

Este sistema de canales y acueductos hidráulica fue esencial para el abastecimiento de agua en la ciudad sagrada del cusco.

Basically just Cuzcos main plaza, which is surrounded by beautiful colonial buildings and full of tourists as well as locals trying to sell everything  from trinkets to tours to the tourists. It offers great views of the surrounding mountains and of the beautiful architecture of the city. Exactly what you expect out of the main plaza.

The main square in Cusco is a vibrant heart of the city. It's a lively space where you can wander through captivating alleyways, discover delicious food, and soak in the awe-inspiring views of the surrounding mountains and the magnificent cathedral.

What a vibrant and beautiful place! The centre of this mystical Incan city. UNESCO world heritage for good reason. Not only is the colonial architecture amazing to look at, but the colours and sounds from the indigenous folk, displays an eye catching blend. The people here are friendly and very proud of their heritage. Also with the backdrop of the mountainous landscape here, it's just a great place to sit and enjoy your surroundings. Many great restaurants around this square with high scoring reviews. Also I hear the night life scene here is epic. I was up early for hikes every morning, so I missed this part of Cusco. One thing I wasn't a fan of here, was the frequency of having to politely decline people selling stuff. Especially the massage girls and artists selling their paintings. Saying 'no thanks' 30 times in as many minutes, gets annoying. The Christmas markets were built on this square while I was here, so it was great to see how festive these people can be. This square caught me by surprise in many ways. Loved it here!

Cusco’s Plaza de Armas is the historic and cultural heart of the city. Surrounded by colonial arcades, churches, restaurants, and centuries of history, it is the place where the past and present of Cusco come together. During my visit, I was fortunate to experience one of the Sunday celebrations leading up to the Inti Raymi (Festival of the Sun). The square was filled with music, traditional dances, colorful costumes, and local communities proudly showcasing their heritage. The atmosphere was vibrant and joyful, with families, performers, and visitors all gathering in the same space. Watching the celebrations unfold against the backdrop of Cusco’s historic architecture made the experience feel even more special and offered a wonderful glimpse into the living traditions of the Andes.

On a summer morning in 2025, we arrived in Cusco. The Plaza de Armas was quiet in the early hours, and the highland morning sunlight filtered through the clouds onto the towering roofs of the churches. Dogs lounged lazily in the sun after waking, while early risers prepared to open their businesses and begin the day. The tranquil narrow alleys and smooth stone-paved streets all left us with an excellent first impression of Cusco on our first visit.

Plaza de Armas in Cusco is one of the most beautiful and atmospheric squares I’ve ever visited. Surrounded by stunning colonial architecture built on Inca foundations, it perfectly captures the unique blend of Inca and Spanish history that makes Cusco so special. The Cathedral and the Church of the Society of Jesus are especially impressive, both during the day and when illuminated at night.<br>The square is lively without feeling chaotic, with musicians, locals, travelers, cafés, and good restaurants all adding to the energy of the place. Sitting here in the evening, watching the lights come on while the mountains surround the city, felt genuinely magical.<br>It’s not just a tourist spot... it feels like the heart of Cusco. A place you naturally return to again and again during your stay. ❤️
