1 DAY:
TRANSFER IN:
Enjoy a punctual and professional transfer service from Cusco´s Airport to your hotel in the city, and enjoy a stress-free start to your trip.
CITY TOUR:
Starting your tour at 2:00pm you will get to explore the Qorikancha or Temple of the Sun. The curved stonework of the temple is probably unequalled in the world which probably was covered with gold during the Inca period. Then, visit the impressive archaeological sites around the city: Saqsayhuaman, an Inca complex with huge stone constructions, where the Inti Raymi or Festival of the Sun is held every June. Sacsayhuaman has a great cosmic energy – that is why people think it was an astronomic observatory and an Inca oracle. Explore also Q’enqo, a place used for ceremonial purposes, fertility rites and celebrations of the solstice and equinox, then continue to the Red Fortress of Puca-Pucara and Tambomachay, a beautiful fountain fed by a spring forming a series of basins. To complete the tour a visit to the Cathedral of Cusco would let you understand about the sincretism of two different cultures

After a sumptuous Buffet Lunch in a Cozy restaurant in Urubamba, you will continue driving to our next stop, to visit the Inca Fortress and Citadel of Ollantaytambo, a military, religious, and agricultural center. On your way back to Cusco, you'll stop of at Chinchero to visit the palace of Tupac Inca Yupanqui.
