San Blas Viewpoint is a quiet little lookout tucked away in Cusco’s bohemian San Blas neighbourhood, offering beautiful views over the red rooftops of the city with the mountains rolling out behind them. It’s much calmer than the main viewpoints, which makes it perfect if you want to enjoy the scenery without big crowds.

It’s an easy walk uphill through charming cobblestone streets, passing art galleries and cafés along the way. Sunset is especially nice here, when the city glows golden and the lights slowly start to flicker on.

If you’re wandering San Blas already, this viewpoint is a simple but rewarding stop and a great place to pause, take photos, and soak up Cusco’s laid-back, creative vibe.
