Description

Discover Cusco's Inca heritage on a guided tour of Qorikancha, Sacsayhuamán, Q'enqo, Puka Pukara, and Tambomachay. Sip on muña tea, a traditional remedy for altitude sickness.
Meet your guide at Qorikancha, the Temple of the Sun, and start your tour with a cup of muña tea, a traditional Andean remedy that helps with Cusco's altitude. Learn about the temple's ceremonial role, its fine stonework, and the Santo Domingo Convent later built on top of its foundations.

Continue to Sacsayhuamán, an imposing Inca fortress known for its massive stone blocks and panoramic views over the city. Next, visit Q'enqo, a ceremonial site with carved altars, underground passages, and rock formations used for Inca rituals.

The tour continues to Puka Pukara, a military checkpoint and resting place for Inca travelers, and finishes at Tambomachay, the Inca Baths, a sacred site for the worship of water, where the original stone channels and fountains still flow today.

The tour ends near Cusco's historic center, within walking distance of most hotels.
