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.

Very professional company, I recommend it to everyone!!! - Our City Tour was really good!! The vehicle was very spacious, clean and very well maintained, always on time. The driver was very calm and attentive in traffic. Our Guide Maria was excellent, although she is originally from Peru, she makes a lot of effort to speak Portuguese and that made all the difference. Always willing to answer our questions and clear our doubts. I definitely recommend it.

Surprising - The city tour in Cusco is wonderful, light, peaceful, but full of knowledge about the great INCAS constructions and the period of colonization by the Spanish conquerors. It's really worth it, the guide Carmen was wonderful

Immersion in the History of the Inca Empire - The city tour in Cusco is an immersion into the history and culture of the Inca people, also revealing significant aspects about their religion. Cusco's cathedral impresses with its art paintings, altars and architecture, in a kind of museum. The Qoricancha temple is an opportunity to discover part of the Inca architecture in the construction of their religious temples. The ruins of Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo, Puka Pukara and Tambomachay remind us of the impressive ability of the Incas to build stone temples in worship of their gods in places with privileged views. And this entire cultural and religious demonstration was very well explained by our guide (Carmém), who, even speaking in Spanish, with great calm and attention, enabled us to understand and learn about the rich history of the Incas and the stay of the Spanish conquerors in the Cusco region. . On this tour we also have the chance to get to know, and even feed, llamas and alpacas, Andean animals of great prestige for the Peruvian people. Finally, this is the typical tour that you cannot miss when visiting or passing through the ancient Inca Empire, located in Cusco.
