First you’ll visit the imposing Plaza de Armas and the Cusco Cathedral. The Cusco Cathedral is very important because inside you will find the paintings of the Cusco School of Artists, and learn how the Spanish conquistadors imposed Christianity on the natives.
1 hour
You will visit the Incan Temple of the Sun, the Coricancha. Historians tell us that during Incan times this was the most important religious site in their empire (Tahuantinsuyo).
1 hour
After Coricancha we will head out of the city and up to the immense Fortress of Sacsayhuaman. It is a mystery as to how this site was constructed. The stone blocks are as big as a truck, and they fit together perfectly. No mortar was used.
1 hour
Our next stop will be Qenco. Here you will walk through underground passageways, and marvel at the carved rocks. This carved limestone formation is full of subterranean passages and decorated with mythical figures.
1 hour
Its name comes from the quechua words which means ‘’Red Fortress’’. Puca Pucara or Pukapukara got this name due to the red granite it was constructed with. This archaeological complex features terraces, walls, aqueducts, squares, and stairways that ensure the urban layout is suitable and functional.
30 min
Tambomachay was one of the Inca monuments where water was worshiped. Such is the majesty of Inca work that to this day, five hundred years later, water continues to circulate there. The chroniclers affirm that the Inca emperor spent his days of relaxation there. It is one of the most visited archaeological sites in Cusco along with the Coricancha, Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo and Pucapucara.
