Without a doubt, it is a must-see visit and the best introduction to the ancient capital of the Incas.
ITINERARY
This experience begins with a visit to the Cusco Cathedral, majestic for its Baroque style and indigenous worldview, expressed in its gold-plated altarpieces and masterpieces of the Cusco School, including the Lord of the Earthquakes (Señor de los Temblores), the sworn patron saint of Cusco.
We continue with a visit to the Qorikancha Sun Temple. You will be amazed by its perfectly carved Inca stone walls, now embraced by the Dominican Convent, reflecting the fusion of two very different worlds that shaped Cusco's history.
Finally, we will head to the hills surrounding the city to explore monumental archaeological sites, such as:
- Sacsayhuaman: Famous for its massive stone walls fitted together without mortar, defying time.
- Qenqo: A sacred place where rituals were performed in the rock.
- Puka Pukara and Tambomachay: Ancient ceremonial checkpoints and water fountains.
