Highlights
  • Cusco Cathedral - On this day, you will discover the best places in Cusco and its surroundings. We will start with the Cathedral located in the Plaza de Armas. It is the main church of the imperial city and was built on the palace of the Inca Wiracocha. The cathedral features over 300 paintings from the Cusco School of Art.
  • Qorikancha - Next, we will head to Qoricancha, which in Quechua means “Temple of Gold.” It was the first temple built by the Incas, which was formerly covered in large quantities of gold and silver.
  • Sacsayhuaman - We will leave the city of Cusco to visit the Saqsayhuaman complex, famous for its huge megalithic stones weighing over 150 tons. During the Inca Empire, it was considered the Temple of Lightning, dedicated to “the god Illapa.”
  • Q’enqo - Next, we will visit the Q’enqo temple, a place dedicated to Pacha Mama (Mother Earth) where you can see intricate stone carvings.
  • Puka Pukara - Afterward, we will arrive at the impressive Inca fortress, Puka Pukara, which means “Red Fortress” in Quechua due to the reddish stone structures that make up its walls and buildings.
  • Tambomachay - Finally, we will reach Tambomachay, where you will see the sacred temple dedicated to water worship, which likely also served as a purification bath for Inca rulers.

In the late afternoon, we will return to Cusco, where we will drop you off at your hotel or, if you prefer, at the Plaza de Armas.
Note: The remaining time is for the round tour and time spent sightseeing or explorations.

A perfect start to our trip in Cusco! - We had a fantastic afternoon tour of Cusco and the surrounding ruins. Our tour guide Flor was extremely knowledgable and experienced, and we especially enjoyed speaking with her about Incan philosophy and the history of Spanish colonization. She also took some great pictures of us. The sites we visited were stunning, and we were delighted that we got to pet and feed some llamas and alpacas and see condors at the animal sanctuary. This tour was at the beginning of our trip, and it was a great introduction to Cusco.

Cusco without a guide is not worth - Cusco is a city with lots of things to see and having an experienced and excited guide to help us understand what we were seeing was very important Our guide cared about leaving us in the best places and making the visits flow so that we escaped the crowd of other visitors. Super bom. I recommend
