Discover Cusco on a half-day tour. Visit the sacred Qorikancha and explore iconic Inca sites like Sacsayhuamán while connecting with the history of the Inca capital.
Enjoy a half-day Cusco City Tour that takes you through the most important historical and archaeological sites of the former Inca capital. Your experience begins in the historic city center, where you will walk through the iconic Plaza de Armas and learn about its importance during the Inca Empire and the Spanish colonial era. Accompanied by a professional guide, you will gain insight into how Cusco became a unique blend of ancient Andean culture and European influence.
Continue to the Qorikancha, also known as the Temple of the Sun, one of the most sacred places of the Inca civilization. Here, you will admire the precision of Inca stonework and discover how this site was once dedicated to sun worship, later transformed by the Spanish into the Convent of Santo Domingo.
