The heart of Cusco does not beat in the UNESCO-protected city center, as magical as the city center is. It beats in the small towns and villages on the outskirts of the city, where the locals live humbly, happily, and traditionally Andean. Visit with the local craftsmen, whose homes are not only living spaces, but also workshops and storefronts. Recharge in locally favorited picanterias, where the food is fresh and traditionally prepared, the chicha homebrewed, and the locals gather to exchange ideas and unwind. Learn from the local shamans, who are still called on as the healers of both body and spirit, and participate in a ceremony or cleansing if you wish. The exact experience is tailored to traveler’s preferences, the Andean sky is the limit in what we may curate.
Please allow approximately seven hours for the entire experience.
