Itinerary

1. Full Itineary

   • Your private guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel to start your city tour. Our first visit will be to the Main Cathedral, built between 1560 and 1664. This building boasts numerous chapels in its interior which are richly embellished with baroque motifs. In addition, there are numerous valuable sculptures and paintings belonging to the “Escuela Cusqueña” style – (the Cusco colonial style of painting).
   • Then, we will continue our tour to the Qoricancha Temple of the Sun, a majestic place that, in Incan times, was devoted to the worship of the sun. The temple is also currently the Santo Domingo Convent, founded in 1534 as the first Dominican convent in Peru. This building, a true masterpiece of architecture, wonderfully combines both Incan and colonial heritage.
   • We will then go to the surrounding area of Cusco to have an interesting guided tour in Sacsayhuaman, an imposing fortress that was built with blocks of stone that, in some cases, weigh over 120 tons. Then, we will go to Qenqo (labyrinth), an important archaeological center used as a sanctuary in the Incan times. Our next destination will be Pucapucara, a military construction composed of large walls, terraces and staircases and which was part of Cusco´s last defensive line. Finally, we will visit Tambomachay (resting place), an archaeological site that was dedicated to the worship of water and was a resting place for the Incan Empire’s sovereigns.
   • Upon the conclusion of your tour, you will be taken back to your hotel.
