About this experience
A tour to stretch your legs. San Blas quarter was originally used as dwellings for the Inca nobles, which built impressive stone constructions at a short distance of what used to be Huacaypata and it is the current place of the Main Square. It is still possible to see the unmistakable rigor of the Inca walls at the base of many constructions. Today the quarter is a conglomerate of charming small cobblestone streets that are very popular among craftspeople, who sell their works on the street. Among its main attractions is the Church of San Blas, a temple that is a work of art of incalculable value. Your visit will be panoramic because it is in refraction. At the end of the tour, you will return to your hotel.
