SAN BLAS
The San Blas neighborhood, known as the Montmartre of Cusco, is located on the upper part of the historic center. Known in pre-Hispanic times and in the Quechua language as Toqocachi: Salt Cave, this was the place where pools were found from which salt was extracted for consumption.
Today, it is the neighborhood that houses the most artists, and its narrow streets still retain the charm of the past. It has countless cafes, art and craft shops, restaurants, and hotels.
A large number of visitors to Cusco prefer to stay in this neighborhood because of its picturesque nature. Each of its streets has a special meaning (which is explained in our guides), and walking through them is quite pleasant.
