Cusco City Tour – Explore the Best of Cusco’s Inca and Colonial Heritage

Start your unforgettable Cusco City Tour with a convenient hotel pick-up at 1:00 PM. Your adventure begins at the iconic Main Plaza (Wakaypata), where you can admire the beauty of Cusco’s historic center, surrounded by stunning colonial architecture and vibrant local life.

Next, we’ll visit the Cusco Cathedral, a must-see landmark known for its exquisite religious paintings and stunning architecture. This cathedral, a prime example of Spanish Baroque design, showcases the fusion of indigenous and European influences in Cusco.

Following the Cathedral, we’ll head to Qoricancha, once the most important temple of the Inca Empire, dedicated to the sun god Inti. Here, you’ll marvel at the impressive fusion of Inca and Spanish architecture, with beautifully crafted walls and chambers that reveal the splendor of Cusco’s ancient past.

After exploring Qoricancha, we’ll continue our journey to Sacsayhuaman, an ancient Inca fortress that offers a remarkable glimpse into Inca engineering. The site features massive stones, some weighing over 100 tons, used to construct its walls. Although it differs from Machu Picchu, Sacsayhuaman played a vital role in Inca military and religious practices. Enjoy panoramic views of Cusco City during our walking tour of this historic site.

We will then visit Qenqo, Pucapucara, and Tambomachay, three smaller yet equally fascinating Inca sites. Each site has its own unique features, and your expert guide will provide insightful commentary as you explore these incredible ruins. Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture the stunning landscapes and archaeological wonders.

As our tour concludes, we’ll visit a local Alpaca farm, where you can observe South American camels like alpacas, llamas, vicuñas, and guanacos. Learn about traditional textile techniques and how these animals contribute to the region’s cultural heritage.

Finally, we will return to Cusco City and drop you off at your hotel by 6:00 PM, concluding a day filled with history, culture, and unforgettable experiences.
