San Blas

Nestled away from the bustling tourist areas, the San Blas neighborhood in Cusco is a charming enclave for local artisans, weavers, sculptors, and potters. Known as the ‘Balcony of Cusco,’ this area offers a glimpse into the city’s bohemian side. One of its main highlights is the San Blas Church, one of the oldest in the city, featuring a golden altar and pulpit. Visitors can explore the narrow, cobblestone streets, admire the handiwork of local craftspeople, and soak in the tranquil atmosphere that makes San Blas a unique and culturally rich part of Cusco.
