Itinerary
We will walk through the Barrio de San Blas, known as the "Balcon del Cusco", where workshops and shops of artisans and artists are developed. An example of this art are the world famous archangels with long necks, multicolored and emblematic, made of wood and pasta. Then we will visit some tourist and cultural attractions of the city like the pulpit of San Blas, masterpiece of the colonial Andean art that is found in the Church of San Blas. This work of art is carved in a single piece of cedar by skilled hands in the management of the gubia. The Museum of Art precolombino, which exhibits in an orderly and evolutionary way: a Wood Room, a Nazca, a Mochica, a Huari, a Chimu, an Inca, a Viceroyalty and also the Golden Room and the Silver Room.
