Cusco. Museums art and history
The cultural development of pre-Columbian societies results from human experiences through almost twenty thousand years of occupation of a challenging and complex ecosystem such as the South American Andes.
This cultural development of civilizations is expressed in artistic manifestations of each culture in response to the search to express the emotions and stories of individuals and societies. Oral traditions and histories later passed to writing from its most elementary form to the programming languages we use today. Paintings from rock art that portrayed scenes of the tribe or clan have now passed thanks to photography to Instagram, the architecture that has always shaped the world, and the crafts we use to serve our food and drink, tell us the stories of the changes in societies.
Cusco is an artistic mecca for those who know how to appreciate and observe the history of the past in detail and imagine what the future may bring for us through it. Art, in this way, is a complex and controversial element because the emotions it awakens in one person are not the same in others. For this reason, this is a unique tour where with the help of our specialist guide in architecture, painting, and art, you will see these hidden details invisible to the naked eye. You will discover the history of Cusco through the iconography of its artwork, present since pre-Hispanic ceramics until we reach the Cusco art school. You will see how the European Baroque art and religion influenced these Peruvian artists and also learn history through the architecture that shows us iconic monuments such as the Cathedral of Cusco, the Company of Jesus, the Archbishop's Palace, and the Inca Museum. A special tailor-made tour for lovers of art, history, and universal architecture.
