1. San Blas neighborhood

A walk with your special someone through the streets of San Blas, one of those beautiful places to visit in Cusco, is one of the most romantic things that could happen. This picturesque neighborhood of artisans, with its little blue balconies and steep stone walkways, is a postcard in itself. There is much to see, such as the paintings and sculptures of all sizes that are sold in the stores set up along its streets, which could be the perfect gift for your partner.

Then imagine walking along these magical sidewalks until you reach a small square with the same name: Plaza de San Blas. This beautiful square has already witnessed many proposals of marriage; you just have to let yourself be carried away by the magic of the place.

2. Plaza de Armas

Being the most central place in the city, it is also very frequented by visitors at all times of the year, being one of the main activities in Cusco. The church of the Society of Jesus, and the houses of majestic colonial architecture, stand out imposing to the eye. The countless arches that support ancient buildings around the square enhance the whole, which is one of the main attractions of the Inca capital.

A fountain located in the very center, with transparent waters and dreamlike illumination at night, shows the figure of an Inca in command. To spend a moment sitting on these benches is to give the heart the dose of romanticism it needs. All these elements make the Plaza de Armas one of the most romantic places in Cusco, where wedding photographs are now commonplace. A dinner in one of the restaurants in the area completes the experience. Are you up for it?

3. San Cristobal viewpoint

It is said that when you are in love you are closer to heaven, and there must be some truth in this, since the viewpoints welcome those who wish to spend a pleasant moment with the loved one. To get to the viewpoint of the San Cristobal square it takes a few minutes by car from the center of the city and the view is privileged.

From San Cristobal you can see the Historic Center, the modern area of La Cultura Avenue and the Ausangate snow-capped mountain, one of the best known and most beautiful in the region. At night the spectacle is uniquely beautiful: the lights of the city give a perfect setting to make a promise of love or renew the vows of an engagement.

4. Andahuaylillas Church

Located a few kilometers southwest of Cusco has many charms: cobblestone streets, countryside and huge trees with prominent roots. But what makes it unique is its main church, also called “the Sistine Chapel of America”. The Church of San Pedro Apostle of Andahuaylillas dates from the late sixteenth century and is an austere construction on the outside.

Its charm and the magic of its forms can be appreciated from the inside, where a flash of figures made of gold, columns and altars of great beauty captivate the visitor.
