Best of Cusco City Tour + Saqsaywaman.

The meeting point will be at the Plaza de Armas (Cusco’s main square), the heart of Cusco. Here, you will be greeted by our professional guide from “Peru Day Tours Company”. Once gathered here, our tour will begin with a short walk through the incredible streets paved with the finest polished stones leading to the Temple of the Sun also known as Coricancha.

Arriving at the Coricancha (temple of the sun), we will spend approximately 40 minutes exploring this remarkable site. It is an opportunity to discover the mysteries of the most famous Inca temple, which has become the Church of Santo Domingo after the time of the Spanish conquest.

After concluding our visit here, we will proceed to our next Cusco City Tour destination, a 15 to 20 minute drive will take us to the impressive Saqsaywaman (ancient Inca temple), an Inca temple located outside the city, The mystery becomes even more as we marvel at the enormous stones, some weighing over 100 tons, that make up this site.

The guided visit to Saqsaywman will last approximately 40 minutes, during which our guide will unveil some of the mysteries of these magnificent structures that seem to have been sculpted by giants.

Our next stop is only 10 minutes away: Quenqo, a temple dedicated to offerings to the underworld. Here we enter the realm of the departed and explore the connection of the ancient Incas with their ancestors. The enigmatic atmosphere of the place is truly captivating, and our visit will be relatively short due to its small size.

Don’t miss the opportunity to take a selfie with the impressive eucalyptus trees that adorn our path. We will continue with our famous “The Best of Cusco City Tour”, guided by our expert. We will ascend to the highest point of our tour, Tambomachay, a renowned temple in honor of water. Inca rulers used this place for purification baths during important festivals and rituals, earning it the nickname “Fountain of Youth”.

Finally, we will explore Puca Pucara, a circular military tower that also served as an astronomical observatory due to its strategic location.

On our return trip, we will make brief stops to visit textile centers and cooperatives run by families of the Huaylla Orcocha Community. Here, you will find a variety of handicrafts, including exquisite alpaca wool sweaters in various styles and more. Feel free to consult with your guide for recommendations.

At the end of our renowned Cusco City Tour, we will return to the city and conclude the tour at the Plaza Regocijos or at the place closest to the Plaza de Armas.
