Bario Santa Ana

Santa Ana barrio is a quiet, traditional neighborhood in Cusco known for its local atmosphere, steep streets, and some of the best panoramic views over the city.

Santa Ana barrio is one of Cusco’s oldest residential neighborhoods, offering a quieter, more lived-in feel compared to the tourist-heavy streets nearby. Its network of stepped streets and traditional homes feels like a hidden tapestry of daily Andean life.
The higher you climb here, the more the city unfurls below you. Some of the best panoramic views of Cusco’s red tile roofs and surrounding mountains are found right here, especially near small lookout points where sunset paints the sky in gold. It’s a perfect experience for travelers who want to see the city through the eyes of those who call it home.
