Very historic city with professional guide - We joined a 2-hour tour to explore the city that was shaped like a Puma and the capital of the Incas.
Our guide surprised us with very historical data about the city of Qosqo and we explored the traditional Inca streets, and the San Pedro market, which was very interesting with its very traditional local people.
Endless thanks to guide Juan for sharing his knowledge!
