Pick up from your hotel about 12:00 pm and will begin the tour at the most important temple of the Inca Empire, the Sun Temple, known as the Qorikancha. Here, you can observe detailed and intact architecture, and within the temple you will see smaller temples dedicated to the moon, rainbow, stars, lightning and thunder, among others.

From there, we will walk to an important religious site ‘The Cathedral’ located at the main square.

Then we will go by car to Sacsaywaman, the Spanish considered it a military fortress because of its location and the way it was built.

Next, we will visit Qenqo, a site built in a natural rock formation which was created to represent the Andean constellations and the concept of the three worlds, each one representing sacred animals: the condor, puma, and snake.

After that we will travel to Puka Pukara, which was a shelter for travelers coming to Cusco from the Amazon. It was also a military center and used to protect the nearby temple located at Tambomachay.

Our last stop is Tambomachay, known as the Temple of Water, where the Incas practiced religious traditions tied to water in order to rejuvenate the land. This tradition is known as the fountain of eternal youth.

From there, we will return to the city and drop you off at your hotel at around 6:00 pm.
