WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Sacsayhuaman
Saqsaywaman, which can be spelled many different ways, is a citadel on the northern outskirts of the city of Cusco, Peru, the historic capital of the Inca Empire. Sections were first built about 1100 CE by the Killke culture which had occupied the area since 900 CE
2. Plaza de Armas
You will fall in love with the Plaza de Armas of Cusco. Its colonial architecture buildings serve as an example of the impact the Spanish conquerors made in the city. However, this place has existed long before the Conquest. This was the chosen starting point to begin developing the Imperial City, which became the capital of the Inca Empire.
3. Cusco Cathedral
The Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin, also known as Cusco Cathedral, is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cusco. The cathedral is located on the Plaza de Armas
4. Qorikancha
Originally named Intikancha or Intiwasi, it was dedicated to Inti, and is located at the former Inca capital of Cusco. Mostly of the temple was destroyed after the 16th-century war with the Spanish conquistadors, as settlers also took it apart to build their own churches and residences. Much of its stonework was used as the foundation for the seventeenth-century Santo Domingo Convent. It was built after the 1650 earthquake destroyed the first Dominican convent.
5. Puka Pukara
This construction is located 6km from Cusco. "Puca" in Quechua means "Red" and "Pucara" means "Fortress-Watchtower. Located at a strategic point along the road to the Antisuyo (the jungle part of the Inca empire), it also served as a checkpoint on the Inca road and was a military and administrative center.
6. Q'enqo
In Quechua, Qenqo means labyrinth or zig-zag and the temple is named for the crooked canal cut out of its rock. Although it is clear the canal carried some sort of liquid, researchers have been forced to guess at its purpose, and at what liquid it transported. Hypotheses range from carrying holy water, chicha (corn beer), or blood. All three indicate that Qenqo was used for death rituals, possibly to embalm bodies or detect whether a person lived a good life by the course the liquid followed.
7. Tambomachay
Tambomachay is an archaeological site associated with the Inca Empire, located near Cusco, Peru. An alternate Spanish name is El Baño del Inca. It consists of a series of aqueducts, canals and waterfalls that run through the terraced rocks

There were mostly good moments. The guide and driver were very nice. Unfortunately the guide wasn’t quite as fluent in English as I hoped.

I did this tour with Nohemi. He is very nice and competent. About Sacsayhuaman, which is the most impressive, I had a lot to say. It is linked to the culture of the Incas.

Great experience, but a little expensive. However, they provide transportation and private tours. Got to know a lot of Cusco and it was a really informative tour. Recommended if you want to learn about Cusco and its historic places.

This was an excellent tour. We had a private driver and a private tour guide. Everything went so smoothly and it went at the pace we felt comfortable with. We were still grappling with altitude sickness and this was a great tour to take while adjusting. Reuben our guide was super knowledgeable and really gave us a deep appreciation for the history, culture, and ingenuity of the Incas and Cusco. Highly recommend!
