Tour Plan

Day 01: City Tour & Surrounding Ruins (Group Tour - 4 hours)

At approximately 1:30 p.m., embark on a City Tour of Cusco, starting with the historic Main Square, once known as Huacaypata or Warrior's Square. Explore the Cathedral, a remarkable structure on the site of the former Suntur Wasi temple. Notice the intricately designed choir cloisters, pulpit, and altar. Continue to the Church and Convent of Santo Domingo, a striking example of Spanish architecture built on the Inca temple of Koricancha and dedicated to the Sun God. Admire the finely carved stone blocks that speak of a glorious past. Your exploration extends to the outskirts of Cusco, visiting the majestic Sacsayhuaman fortress, known for its massive, overlapping platforms. Journey to Tambomachay, the Inca baths, and Kenko, a worship site with impressive stone engravings. Visit Puca Pucará, a once-thriving administrative and military centre. Conclude your day by returning to your hotel in Cusco, where you can relax and reflect on the day's discoveries. Consider exploring the city's culinary scene for dinner at suggested restaurants like Limo, MAP Café, Incanto, Chicha, Greens Organic, or Calle del Medio."
