Plaza Regocijo (Kusipata)
Kick off your historical Cusco tour at Plaza Regocijo, which at an altitude of 3,400 metres, is one of the highest in the world. Talk about starting the morning on top of the world!
Mercado Central de San Pedro

There will be opportunity to try out a few local words and purchase snacks for later in the day. Be ready for some entertaining local interaction!

Leave the unforgettable smells and flavours of the Cusco market behind as we depart by private transportation to explore the Inca ruins just outside of Cusco. First on our Cusco ruins trail is Q'enqo, which was once a major Inca ceremonial and ritual site. We'll explore Q'enqo and then head out for a short, 15 minute scenic walk to the statue of Cristo Blanco (White Christ), where we'll stop for our delicious picnic of Peruvian snacks and enjoy the beautiful

At an altitude of 3,700 metres and just three kilometres from Cusco, the fortress boasts walls up to 400 metres long, made out of boulders weighing between 128 and 200 tonnes. Every year the Inty Raymi (celebration of the sun) is celebrated on these ruins overlooking the city of Cusco.
Statue of Christ
A present from the Arabic Palestinians who visited Cusco after the Second World War. The present was to show their gratitude for the hospitality of the city gave them. To finish the tour, we'll walk back to Cusco, which will take us about half an hour. We'll descend back to the city via Inca streets, learning some stories and legends of the Inca Empire along the way. We'll meander through the bohemian area of San Blas before finding ourselves back at Plaza de Armas, Cusco's main square, where your tour will come to a close.
