“The colonial architecture and vibrant gardens struck me as a peaceful escape in the artistic San Blas district, a perfect counterpoint to the bustling city. I particularly appreciated the readily available tea, a thoughtful touch after exploring Cusco's high altitude streets. Though close to the square, be prepared for narrow roads.”
