Description
We will ascend to the Archaeological Park of Sacsayhuaman to begin our excursion at the fortress of the same name. This stunning site exudes peace and tranquility, allowing us to marvel at the massive stones, some up to 4 meters high, used in its construction.
Next, we will visit Q'enqo, an ancient temple dedicated to the Puma, where we can see an altar for sacrifices carved into the interior of a massive rock. Following this, well head to Tambomachay, known for its sacred fountains that symbolize life and health. On the way, well enjoy a panoramic view of Puca Pucara, a watchtower that once controlled access to the city.
Our tour continues with a visit to the Temple of the Sun, Korikancha, upon which the Convent of Santo Domingo was later built. According to legend, this temple was once entirely covered in gold sheets, astonishing the Conquistadors upon their arrival.
Finally, we will explore the Main Square and visit the Cathedral, home to invaluable colonial paintings and artworks, including the Cross that arrived with the first Conquistadors.

No podría haber salido mejor. Nunca vi algo parecido a Parque Arqueológico de Sacsayhuaman. El destacan sus enormes construcciones de piedra y sus impresionantes vistas llegó justo cuando lo necesitábamos. Por el precio que pagamos, la verdad que rinde muchísimo. Totalmente recomendado.

Um bom passeio, sem ser inesquecível. Conhecer um pouco de Cusco no caminho foi um plus. O horário de volta foi cumprido no minuto. O ponto fraco foi o ar condicionado, que não dava conta. Nada grave, mas vale saber antes de reservar.

Highly recommended
One of the highlights of our trip to Cusco. I compared prices before booking and this was the best deal. Parque Arqueológico de Sacsayhuaman alone makes the trip worthwhile. Having entry Or Admission Fee makes all the difference. Suitable for any age.

Imperdible
Reservamos a último momento y fue un acierto total. El personal de tierra fue amable desde el primer contacto. El paso por Parque Arqueológico de Sacsayhuaman fue rápido y directo. Si volvemos a Buenos Aires, lo repetimos.

Una experiencia redonda. Nuestro guía tenía un manejo del grupo impecable, nadie quedó atrás. Lo de transporte es un acierto. El precio es honesto para lo que se recibe. Lo de Cusco fue el momento del día. Ya lo recomendé a dos amigos que viajan el mes que viene.

Una experiencia redonda. Aprendimos más de la ciudad en unas horas que leyendo tres guías. Pasar por Parque Arqueológico de Sacsayhuaman Angel Fallabrino valió el tour entero. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera que visite Montevideo.
