Pick-Up: Your guide will meet you in your hotel lobby and transfer you in a private vehicle.
Visit: Explore Qorikancha, the Inca Empire’s most significant temple, also known as the “Golden Enclosure” in Quechua. Examine its well-preserved architecture and discover smaller temples dedicated to deities such as the moon, rainbow, stars, lightning, and thunder. Compare the Incan construction techniques with Catholic influences, as the Santo Domingo church now stands atop this ancient spiritual center.
Drive: Proceed down Avenida El Sol to Sacsayhuaman, a 25-minute drive from Qorikancha. This archaeological site is renowned for its massive 200-ton stones and was initially viewed as a religious site but later deemed a military fortress by the Spanish due to its strategic and construction features. Sacsayhuaman hosts the annual Inti Raymi (Festival of the Sun) on June 24. After a guide’s explanation, you will have time for independent exploration.
Visit: Next, explore Q’enqo, a site with intricate rock formations that include steps, seats, geometric carvings, and a puma design. This site is believed to represent Andean constellations and sacred animals: the condor, puma, and snake, possibly linked to funerary rituals.
Puca Pucara: A brief five-minute drive takes you to Puca Pucara, a circular Inca structure that served as a resting place for travelers arriving from the Amazon and also functioned as a military fort.
Tambomachay: Conclude your tour at Tambomachay, the “Temple of Water,” known for its impressive fountains used by the Incas for bathing and performing water-related rituals to rejuvenate the land.
Drop-Off: After visiting Tambomachay, return to Cusco city and be dropped off at your hotel.
Flexibility: The tour itinerary may be adjusted due to local conditions such as strikes or natural events, at the discretion of your travel company.
