Cusco Cathedral

On this day, you will discover the best places in Cusco and its surroundings. We will start with the Cathedral located in the Plaza de Armas. It is the main church of the imperial city and was built on the palace of the Inca Wiracocha. The cathedral features over 300 paintings from the Cusco School of Art.

Qorikancha

Next, we will head to Qoricancha, which in Quechua means "Temple of Gold." It was the first temple built by the Incas, which was formerly covered in large quantities of gold and silver.

Sacsayhuaman

We will leave the city of Cusco to visit the Saqsayhuaman complex, famous for its huge megalithic stones weighing over 150 tons. During the Inca Empire, it was considered the Temple of Lightning, dedicated to "the god Illapa."

Q'enqo

Next, we will visit the Q'enqo temple, a place dedicated to Pacha Mama (Mother Earth) where you can see intricate stone carvings.

Puka Pukara

Afterward, we will arrive at the impressive Inca fortress, Puka Pukara, which means "Red Fortress" in Quechua due to the reddish stone structures that make up its walls and buildings.

Tambomachay

• Finally, we will reach Tambomachay, where you will see the sacred temple dedicated to water worship, which likely also served as a purification bath for Inca rulers.
• In the late afternoon, we will return to Cusco, where we will drop you off at your hotel or, if you prefer, at the Plaza de Armas.
• Note: The remaining time is for the round tour and time spent sightseeing or explorations.
