Itinerary and highlights
Next, we will head to Qoricancha, which in Quechua means "Temple of Gold." It was the first temple built by the Incas, which was formerly covered in large quantities of gold and silver.
We will leave the city of Cusco to visit the Saqsayhuaman complex, famous for its huge megalithic stones weighing over 150 tons. During the Inca Empire, it was considered the Temple of Lightning, dedicated to "the god Illapa."
Next, we will visit the Q'enqo temple, a place dedicated to Pacha Mama (Mother Earth) where you can see intricate stone carvings.
Afterward, we will arrive at the impressive Inca fortress, Puka Pukara, which means "Red Fortress" in Quechua due to the reddish stone structures that make up its walls and buildings.
Finally, we will reach Tambomachay, where you will see the sacred temple dedicated to water worship, which likely also served as a purification bath for Inca rulers.
In the late afternoon, we will return to Cusco, where we will drop you off at your hotel or, if you prefer, at the Plaza de Armas.
Note: The remaining time is for the round tour and time spent sightseeing or explorations.
