ITINERARY FOR THE CITY TOUR
At 09:30, the tour guide and driver will go to the Hotel of the travelers’ group to start the trip visiting the four spectacular ruins of Cusco located to the northwest and on the outskirts of the city. We have incredible panoramic views of the Andes Mountains and its inter Andean valleys throughout the tourist circuit.
In the first instance, we will visit the Qoricancha (the Sun Temple) in the city and then marvel at the excellent construction of the Sacsayhuaman temple with its unique megalithic structures in all of Peru. Continue exploring the Qenqo ruins by walking through the underground royal mausoleum and amphitheater plaza.
Finish the guided tours of the Cusco City Tour Half Day with the ruins of Puca Pucara and Tambomachay! The two archaeological sites have a visual connection as ritual sources.
Return to Cusco, but before that, we stop at one of the most spectacular viewpoints in the city of Cusco, either the Cristo Blanco or the San Cristóbal viewpoint.
