City tour en Cusco

ITINERARY

After lunch, at 1:00 pm, we will pick you up at your hotel and we will begin the city circuit. Visiting first:

TEMPLE OF THE SUN OR QORICANCHA: without a doubt it is the most important sacred temple of the Inca Empire, as it shows us the finest craftsmanship on its stones and the skilled pre-Columbian architecture. After a 40-minute stay, we will walk 15 minutes to the Cathedral of the Virgen of Asunción.

THE CATHEDRAL: its construction began in 1560, built on top of the Inca Wiracocha palace. This colonial monument is a marvel that expresses colonial architecture and its religious art, showing approximately 300 paintings from the Cusqueñan School painters.

Afterwards, we will continue our excursion riding our own vehicle, on a 20-minute ride to the Archeological Site of Sacsayhuaman.

SACSAYHUAMAN: impressive construction built on megalithic engraved stones. Its architecture reflects the value and importance it had during Inca times. After a 15-minute ride, we will visit Qenqo.

QENQO: Means labyrinth. It was used as an Inca adoration center for offerings and sacrifices. Then, we will visit

PUCA PUCARA (REDDISH FORT): used as a fort. It is name is the result of the amount of iron on its land, that gives it reddish color. We will then head towards the following destination Tambomachay.

TAMBOMACHAY (TEMPLE OF WATER): adoration center for the cult of water. We will finally return to the city of Cusco, with an impressive panoramic view along the way; with a detailed view of the city of Cusco.
