Itinerary

Day 01

Qoricancha - Sacsayhuaman - Q’enqo - Puka Pukara - Tambomachay - Cusco

You will be picked up at your hotel at 1:30 pm for a tour of Cusco’s historical monuments, with transportation around the sites provided by a tourist bus. At Cusco’s Plaza de Armas, we will see the 17th century baroque Cathedral built on the site where the palace of the Inca Wiracocha once stood, partly with stones taken from the Sacsayhuaman Fortress.

Then we will move to the religious center Qoricancha (Temple of the Sun), where offerings were offered to the supreme Inca deity, although its gold was plundered by the Spaniards, you will still have the opportunity to see some of the best Inca stones.

We will then move outside Cusco, where you will marvel at the massive stones that form the Sacsayhuaman Fortress before continuing on to Q’enqo, a sanctuary dedicated to the earth deity Pachamama and the astronomical calendar, Tambomachay, the “Baths of the Inca” with its artificial waterfalls, canals and aqueducts channeled through the terraced rocks, supplied by nearby springs, and Puka Pukara, believed to have been a fortress protecting the entrance to Tambomachay.
