What you'll see and do

  1. Cusco Cathedral

    The cathedral is located on the Plaza de Armas. Building was completed in 1654, almost a hundred years after construction began. The altar has twisted baroque columns and in its lower central part it contains a canvas of a Crucified Jesus Christ that was ascribed to the Flemish painter Van Dyck. However, serious studies demonstrated that it is a Cusquenian School canvas by which the author is anonymous. As in many art works of the same type, that is not a perfect painting as the Christ's body does not seem to be a man's but that of a woman because of the strutting hips, legs, belly, and flesh consistency; perhaps a woman was used as the model, otherwise that was the way how the Quechua artist perceived Jesus Christ.

The cathedral was worth...

The cathedral was worth visiting. A visit will take about an hour. No need to pre buy tickets (at a premium) as there was no line and few people in the cathedral. Buy tickets at the cathedral entrance.

Response from the operator: Dear Kathy, Thank you for your review and for sharing that you enjoyed the cathedral! While we are glad there was no line during your visit, we always secure tickets in advance for our guests because the ticket office only accepts cash in local Peruvian Soles (no credit cards or US dollars). Additionally, lines can become very long on busy days. By booking with us, we take care of the cash payment and deliver the tickets directly to your hotel so you can enjoy a completely stress-free visit. Thank you again for your feedback! warm regards Joan

Great to see

Great experience. Was easy to get the tickets and they were waiting for us at the hotel saving us a lot of time. This service offers good convenience, especially if you want to make most of your day. The cathedral was great and had English so you can learn as you go through.

NOT A TOUR, ONLY MORE EXPENSIVE ENTRANCE FEE THAN NORMAL PURCHASE WALKIN

I didn't go on this as IT IS NOT A TOUR! They took my money and did not refund when I discovered that it did not include a tour. The fee was MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE REAL ENTRANCE FEE WITHOUT A TOUR!

Response from the operator: Good Morning valued Customer, Unfortunatelly thos time I am not agree with your score. Important: This service is clearly advertised only for admission ticket where tour guide does not include. This is clearly stated in the inclussions and exclussions section. I chatted with you on Whastapp, after you questioned abut the price, I explained you about the inclussions and exclussions where looks you forgot to read AND I SUGGESTED YOU TO CANCEL THE SERVICES SO YOU CAN FEEL FREE TO ARRANGE A DIFFERENT OPTION FOR THAT REASON WE DID NOT DELIVER THE TICKET. our goal is have happy travellers, The mony should be in your accound as local company/supplier we are not holding your money. This is the reason of your negative review: The price difference is the service fee (the real price if you go to the ticketing office (no online option) is 40 peruvian sol = us$ 12 and in the website is listed for US$ 16 (56 peruvian sol). I think is not fair your review specially when our terms are clear where you should read before purchase and I even suggest you to cancel the service to get back the money you paid to avoid any problems. With Regrads Jorge

Cusco Cathedral Admission Ticket: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

How much does Cusco Cathedral Admission Ticket cost?

+

Prices start at $12 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Cusco Cathedral Admission Ticket take?

+

Plan for about 0.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.

Is Cusco Cathedral Admission Ticket worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Cusco Cathedral Admission Ticket?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Cusco Cathedral Admission Ticket suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Cusco Cathedral Admission Ticket?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 0.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Cusco Cathedral Admission Ticket start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Cusco?

+

On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Cusco?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Cusco?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
