Itinerary and highlights

visit the cathedral of Cusco

The temple of the Sun, where you can see and enjoy the Inca constructions of this palace.

It was the most important military fort in the Empire, it was the access point from the north to the city of Cusco, in this fort the Incas stored their weapons and were prepared for any threat of invasion.

It was probably used by the Incas as a center of worship, the passages that resemble a labyrinth to their flanks in various channels in the form of "Amarus" (snakes)

This place was built for military purposes but also served as a resting place for chaskis who carried messages or parcels from town to town. In the part of the hillside dehydrated products were stored, thanks to the strong winds the products could be stored for more time in a kind of refrigerator.

It served as a center of relaxation and leisure for the Inca and also had military purposes, a watchtower was found that controlled access to Cusco from the north.
