Itinerary

We will pick you up from your hotel to begin a journey through Cusco’s main historical and cultural treasures, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire. We will visit the Cusco Cathedral, home to the Lord of the Earthquakes and important masterpieces of the Cusco School of Art. We then continue to Qoricancha, or the Temple of the Sun, the most important spiritual center of the Incas, where Inca architecture blends with the Santo Domingo Convent.

The tour continues to the imposing fortress of Saqsayhuamán, famous for its massive stone walls and panoramic views of the city and the Andes. We will also visit Qenqo, an ancient ceremonial sanctuary with rock formations and underground passages, and Pukapukara, known as the Red Fortress, associated with military and resting functions.

The experience ends at Tambomachay, a ceremonial center dedicated to water and a fine example of advanced Inca hydraulic engineering. After approximately four hours, we return to your hotel with unforgettable memories of the Andean heritage.
