Description
Enjoy a guided tour of this charming city, which was the capital of the Inca Empire. The tour starts with a visit to Santo Domingo Convent, a large Renaissance-baroque complex, which was built over the Inca Coricancha temple. It was one of the most important temples dedicated to worshipping of the sun, and its foundations are still prominent at the base of the convent. Ancient chronicles say the temple was covered in gold leaf. Then, visit the Cathedral at the Main Square. Head to the hills above Cusco to visit the remains of the fortress of Sacsayhuaman, whose imposing ramparts offer a stunning panoramic view of Cusco, and the ruins of the temple and amphitheatre of Qenqo, where it is believed the Incas practised agricultural rituals. Admire Qenqo and NEXT visit Puka Pukara (‘Red fortress’ in Quechua) an Inca military complex located on a prominent hill. Finally, visit Tambomachay. Afterwards, return to your hotel.

Una experiencia redonda. El ingreso al Coricancha y Catedral del Cusco vale por sí solo. Me quedé con las ganas de más tiempo en Coricancha. Volveríamos a contratarlo.

Increíble día
De lo mejor que hicimos en el viaje. No es lo más barato, pero se justifica. Muy bueno para una primera vez en la ciudad.

Super recomendo
Terminamos o dia comentando como tinha sido bom. Mandamos uma dúvida no WhatsApp e responderam em minutos. O transporte ida e volta nos hoteis vale por si só.

Could not have gone better. The guide told us stories you will not find in any guidebook. The round Trip Hotel Transfers detail adds a lot. We would book again.

Bien, con detalles
Nos fuimos conformes. Nos sirvió para decidir a dónde volver el resto de la semana. Tuvimos buen tiempo en Coricancha para sacar fotos tranquilos. Una de las paradas estaba cerrada ese día y no lo avisaron. Recomendable en general.

De lo mejor que hicimos en el viaje. Sale más que hacerlo suelto, pero te ahorra toda la organización. Ya lo recomendé a dos amigos que viajan el mes que viene.
