Navel of the Inca world, 3,400 meters above sea level
Explore Cusco with Wexplo, an AI audio guide that narrates the Inca walls beneath Spanish churches, the Plaza de Armas where two empires collided, and the artisan neighborhoods of San Blas. Cusco was the capital of the Inca Empire, and their precisely cut stone walls still form the foundations of the colonial city above.

Highlights
Why it works here
Cusco's dual identity — Inca below, Spanish above — is visible in every wall. Wexplo narrates the engineering genius of Inca stonework, the conquest that toppled the empire, and the living Quechua culture that preserves Inca traditions to this day.
May to September for dry season and clear mountain views.
Spanish, Quechua, English
Compact center — everything on foot
Walk slowly through San Blas on your first day (altitude adjustment matters at 3,400 meters). Wexplo narrates the artisan workshops and the Inca canal system that still supplies water to the neighborhood.
