À propos
Faits rapides: Tucked at the heart of the city, this vibrant square pulses with energy from bustling markets and lively festivals. Layers of history show in every stone, where Incan foundations support colonial buildings above.
Points forts: Known locally as Huacaypata, the square was once a central Incan ceremonial ground, which means each corner holds echoes of ancient rites. Around the holidays, colorful parades fill the plaza, lighting up the cobblestones with music and dancing, creating a magical atmosphere unlike anywhere else.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear comfortable shoes as cobblestones can be uneven and slippery when wet.
- Snap photos from the balconies of nearby cafes for a panoramic view of the plaza.
- Avoid weekends if you prefer less crowded spaces and more tranquility.
- Try local snacks from market vendors for an affordable taste of regional flavors.

Avez-vous entendu parler des visites à pied gratuites ?
Après avoir voyagé dans plus de 30 pays, il y a une chose que j'aurais aimé qu'on me dise dès le premier jour, et cela a complètement changé ma façon de découvrir les nouvelles villes.
Les visites à pied gratuites. Oui, vraiment gratuites. Pas besoin de carte de crédit. Pas de piège.

À la fin, donnez simplement le pourboire que vous jugez juste
J'ai fait ces visites dans des dizaines de villes et elles ont été le point fort de presque tous mes voyages. Si vous visitez Cusco, Peru, faites-le le premier jour. Vous me remercierez plus tard.
