Cusco the “Archaeological capital of the Americas”; see the oldest continuously inhabited city, a beautiful city riddled with contrasts between the indigenous styles and the modern western world. It is these contrasts that have given Cusco Tours its rare beauty.

City Tour Itinerary:

This trip lasts half a day. We will pick you up at the hotel at about 1.30 pm. The groups will first visit the centre of Cusco, having company of a professional guide. First he will present the Cathedral (build in a Baroque style and having paintings of the Cusqueña school) and the temple of Qoricancha, more known as the gold covered temple (A place which we will appreciate in all its enchantment, the temple of the Thunderclap, Ray, Lightning, Rainbow, Stars and the temple of Santo Domingo). These attractions are important in a time of constant cultural development in architecture, religion and policy, started in the colonial time.

In the upper part of Cusco, we will visit the fortress of Sacsayhuaman, where we will observe an Inca construction style that will leave us out of breath. Sacsayhuaman, representing the head of a Puma (imaginary), is together with the city of Cusco the body of the Andean God Felino. Later we will visit the archeologic place of Qengo (known as Labyrinth), after which another tourist attraction will be visited called Pucapucara and at last we will go to the archeological site Tambomachay, a place much visited and appreciated because of its traditional healing powers. Finally, we will return to Cusco around 6:30 p.m.
