Cusco, Peru: Cusco City Tour and Sacsayhuaman Archaeological Park. At the designated time, get ready for a half-day of exploration in the city of Cusco and the archaeological remains in the Sacsayhuaman Archaeological Park where you will visit the fortress with the same name; a beautiful place that radiates peace and quiet while admire the huge rocks measuring up to 4 meters high that were used in its construction.
We will then head for Q’enqo, the ancient temple of the Puma, where we will be able to appreciate the sacrifices altar in the inner part of an enormous carved rock. From there, we will continue to Tambomachay; the sacred fountains of life and health. On the way back to Cusco, we will have a panoramic view from Puca Pucara; a watchtower that controlled the entrance to the city.
In Cusco, you will visit Korikancha, the Temple of the Sun, on top of which the Saint Dominique Convent was built. The history tells that this temple was entirely lined in gold sheets when the Spanish conquistadors arrived.
At the end of our tour, we will go to the Main Square and will visit the Cusco Cathedral where invaluable colonial paintings and other works of art, such as the Cross that arrived with the first conquistadors, can be admired.
Important Note: Although unlikely, the order of the visits is subject to change.
