Itinerary
After picking you up at your hotel at the time of your choice, we will transfer to the Temple of Qoricancha, also known as the Temple of the Sun. This majestic site, whose exact date of construction remains a mystery, was one of the most important religious centers of the Inca Empire. It also represents one of the best examples of the fusion between Inca and Spanish culture, and as soon as we enter the temple you will discover why!
Afterward, we will return to the minibus to head towards the 4 ruins of Cusco. After half an hour's drive, we will arrive at the Sacsayhuaman fortress. There we will enjoy a guided tour where we will learn why it is considered the greatest architectural work of the Incas.
Afterward, the minibus will take us to the sanctuary of Qenqo, one of the most important sanctuaries of the time, and to the watchtower of Puca Pucara, known as the Red Fortress. Finally, we will visit Tambomachay, also called the Bath of the Inca since it was precisely here where the Incas performed their water cult.
