Calle Saphy

Calle Saphy extends for 0.88 kilometers through Cusco's center, following the path of an ancient river that runs northwest to southeast.

The street was established between 1922 and 1934 after the completion of the river channeling project, incorporating elements from Inca engineering methods.

The street features a combination of traditional Peruvian architecture, including the Casa de Mateo Pumacahua and Convento de Santa Teresa religious structures.

Located 1.1 miles from Cusco's center and 3.2 miles from Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport, the street connects to San Pedro Train Station.

The street follows the exact course of the Saphy River, which was fully covered and channeled during the early twentieth century construction works.
