Itinerary

Our journey begins by discovering the fascinating city of Cusco. A city full of energy and memories engraved in stone monuments. The City tour takes us to the most important places in Cusco, such as the Cathedral Basilica (optional), where you can appreciate its incredible architecture and paintings. Then we will visit the main Inca temple known as Qoricancha (Temple of the Sun). We will also visit various Inca sites such as the archaeological center of Sacsayhuaman, which impresses with its mysterious megalithic construction. Continuing on, we will visit Qenqo, Puka Pukara, and the Inca Baths of Tambomachay, concluding this tour around 7:00 PM approximately. Qoricancha: An Inca temple originally known as Inti Kancha (Temple of the Sun), it is the temple upon which the Convent of Santo Domingo was built. Sacsayhuaman: An emblematic Inca structure, built by Inca Pachacuti in the 15th century. This construction, with its large stones, transportation, and carving, still remains a mystery.
