"Discover the most mystical and enigmatic side of Cusco in a tour full of history and spirituality. We begin in Huayllarqocha, exploring the site of Lanlaquyoc, also known as the Chinkanas or Zone X, where we will visit ancient caverns and tunnels used by a pre-Hispanic culture, shrouded in secrets of a lost civilization. Then, we head to Chuspiyoq, an enigmatic archaeological site at 3,690 meters above sea level, where a large sacred rock or huaca, a key place in the ancestral tradition, is located. As we descend, we will discover Chukimarka and other archaeological sites hidden among the natural beauty.

Later, we visit the Temple of the Moon (Amaru Marka Wasi) at 3,640 meters above sea level, a ceremonial space that connects with the wisdom of the sun and the moon, reflecting the cosmic balance of our ancestors. Finally, we arrive at the Temple of the Monkeys (Cusilluchayoq), a place full of mysteries and hidden truths that remain in time.
