Your Experience

A compact loop through Cusco's historic core, where the Spanish built their city on Inca walls: the great plaza, the cathedral, the Twelve-Angle Stone, the Temple of the Sun and the Inca lane of Loreto. 8 stops, about 1.5 km on foot, 1h10 at an easy pace. The route starts at Plaza de Armas and ends at La Compañía. It is fully self-guided: no group, no guide to keep up with, and no need to arrive at a set time. Start whenever you like, pause for as long as you want, and pick it up again where you left off. Narrated stop by stop in English and Spanish, in your phone's browser, with a live GPS map of the route.

Booking FAQs

Ticket code: Enter your ticket code on the Roamer redemption page from your confirmation before you set off. Smartphone and earphones: Bring your own phone and earphones, fully charged, to play the audio tour. Mobile data or download: Have mobile data or download the tour in advance so the audio works smoothly. Cash: Carry Peruvian soles in cash if you plan to enter Qorikancha, La Compañía, or the Cathedral. Clothing: Bring a light rain layer if you walk between November and March when showers are common. Hydration: Carry water and sip regularly, as Cusco's altitude makes exertion feel stronger.

Tour start: Start the walk whenever you like, as there is no group and no fixed arrival time. Redemption tip: Activate your tour while you still have phone signal, before leaving your accommodation. Best time of day: Aim for mid to late afternoon so the sun lights the Cathedral and La Compañía facades. Church hours: Most churches and Qorikancha close between 5 and 6 pm, with shorter Sunday hours at Qorikancha. Seasonal weather: Expect clear dry skies from May to September and frequent afternoon showers from November to March. Altitude note: Cusco is at about 3,400 metres, so walk slowly, drink water, and rest whenever you need to. Entry fees: Entry to main sites is paid on-site, and Kusicancha is free, but its opening hours can vary. Kusicancha access: Continue the stop from the street if Kusicancha's door is closed when you arrive. Museo Machu Picchu: Museo Machu Picchu in Casa Concha near stop four usually opens Monday to Saturday, 9:00 to 17:00. Extra detours: If you have time, you can detour to Plaza Regocijo, La Merced, and San Pedro Market from the route. Street surfaces: Watch your footing on cobbles and on the steps at the south end of Calle Loreto. Traffic caution: Take care on narrow pavements along busy one-way Calle Maruri near Calle Arequipa and Romeritos. Security: Keep phones and bags close in the plaza and on crowded pavements. Heritage respect: Do not touch the Twelve-Angle Stone, as it is protected and monitored by security cameras.
