📍 Detailed and Narrative Itinerary

The experience begins with a visit to the Inka Amazonian Museum, one of the most important places to understand the deep history of this region. Housed in a modern, multi-level building, the museum boasts a collection that combines archaeological pieces, ethnographic exhibits, and displays of local biodiversity. As you explore its galleries, you’ll learn about the ancestral cultures that inhabited the cloud forest, the present-day Amazonian peoples, their customs, tools, art, and sacred connection to nature. It’s an ideal starting point to contextualize everything you’ll see later.

From there, we head to the Bolognesi Promenade, an urban walkway decorated with sculptures, representations of Amazonian animals, cultural figures, and public art that beautifies the city. Here you can stroll peacefully, take photos, chat with locals, and soak up the relaxed and artistic vibe of Quillabamba. The allegorical displays celebrate the region’s natural wealth: its fruits, plants, wildlife, and, of course, its people.

Plaza de Armas

Next, we arrive at the emblematic Plaza de Armas, a spacious and welcoming square considered one of the most beautiful in Peru for its harmonious design, tropical vegetation, and ever-present warmth. Here, you can pause to rest, enjoy a refreshing drink, sample artisanal ice cream, or simply observe the flow of daily life in this corner of tropical Cusco.

The tour culminates at the iconic Mirador 360, a modern establishment located in an elevated area of ​​the city, offering a complete panoramic view of Quillabamba and its surroundings. From this vantage point, you can contemplate the valleys, hills, crops, and urban architecture that characterize the capital of La Convención.
