Join us for an extraordinary City Tour Cusco, a fascinating exploration of the “Archaeological Capital of America”! We will begin by picking you up from your hotel at approximately 13:20 to embark on this remarkable journey. Our first stop will be the central plaza, where we will visit the historic cathedral as part of the City Tour Cusco experience.
After immersing ourselves in the splendor of the cathedral, we will continue our exploration by walking to Q’oricancha, the renowned Temple of the Sun. This sacred site held great significance for the Incas and remains a testament to their remarkable architectural and spiritual achievements.
To further delve into Cusco’s rich heritage, we will board a touristic bus on Av. El Sol and make our way to the majestic Sacsayhuaman, a fortress adorned with awe-inspiring 200-ton stone monoliths. Here, you will have the opportunity to marvel at the incredible craftsmanship of the Inca civilization.
Our journey continues with a short 5-minute drive to Qengo, an ancient amphitheater and a place of worship dedicated to the Puma god. From there, we will proceed to Puca Pucara, aptly named the Red Fortress due to the striking hue of its stones at sunset. This historical site provides a glimpse into the strategic defense systems employed by the Incas.
Our final destination is the enchanting Water Temple of Tambomachay, a sanctuary dedicated to the reverence of water. Immerse yourself in the serene atmosphere and discover the ingenuity of Inca engineering.
After visiting these four captivating sites, our comfortable transport will return us to the city center, where we are expected to arrive around 18:30, concluding our extraordinary City Tour Cusco.
