From 8:00 am to 12:01 pm or 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire, invites you to explore its archaeological legacy through an unforgettable one-day tour. Discover its cobbled streets that preserve traces of ancient Cusco and explore the most important archaeological sites in Cusco, such as Qorikancha, the former Temple of the Sun. Visit the fortress of Sacsayhuamán, an impressive example of Inca engineering and the site of the main Inti Raymi ceremony held annually. From this elevated point, you will enjoy an unmatched panoramic view of the city of Cusco.
This City Tour is an excellent opportunity to learn about the history and spirituality of Cusco. Alongside our guide, you will understand the magnitude of a culture that left its mark on the world with its engineering, cosmic vision, and deep connection to nature.
During the City Tour in the Imperial City, we will begin this tour from the scheduled meeting point to visit the Qorikancha Temple, locally known as the Temple of the Sun. Here, the guide will provide information about the "Machihembrado" technique used in its construction, and we will have free time to take photos.
Then we will head to the archaeological sites of Tambomachay, Puka Pukara, and Sacsayhuamán, places that offer a panoramic view of Cusco. We will stop for about 30 minutes to receive information about their construction and take sunset photos among the ruins.
Finally, we will visit Qenqo before returning to Cusco and ending the tour, 5 hours later, near the Main Square (Plaza de Armas).
Entrance fee is subject to change without prior notice.
