San Blas
- Category: Neighborhoods/Streets
- Location: Cusco
Fodor's Review:
Cusco's traditional old Bohemian quarter of artists and artisans is one of the city's most picturesque districts. Recently restored, its whitewashed adobe homes with bright-blue doors shine anew. The Cuesta de San Blas (San Blas Hill), one of the main entrances into the area, is sprinkled with galleries that sell paintings in the Cusqueña-school style of the 16th through 18th centuries. Many of the stone streets are built as stairs or slopes (not for cars) and have religious motifs carved into them. Avoid wandering the pedestrian-only streets here at night, but if you choose to, travel with companions.
