DIA 1: Cusco – Sacsayhuaman – Qenko – Puka Pukara – Tambomachay

Our tour will begin with the pick-up of the hotel at about 13:30 pm from your hotel in Cusco. They will pick us up and take us to the tourist bus, which will take us to all the stops of our tour. Our first stop will be the archaeological center of Qoricancha where we will be with the guide for approximately 1hr visiting the ruins and the temple of Qoricancha which has to pay S / .15.00 nuevos soles.

The archaeological center of Sacsayhuaman is located just 3 km from Cusco and is the most impressive Inca citadel. To this day, in this place the festival of the sun is celebrated every June 24, known as the “Inti Raymi” where we will be visiting it for an average of 1hr. Then from here we will continue to the archaeological center of Qenko, which was a religious and ceremonial place for many Inca traditions.

The archaeological center of Qenko is an outcrop of limestone on which intricate mythical representations have been carved. where we will be visiting for an average of 1hr. Although the true name of this shrine is unknown, at the time of the conquest, the Spaniards decided name it Qenqo, labyrinth in Quechua, maybe by labyrinthine underground galleries, or by the zigzags carved channels in the rock.

Puka Pukara is one of the ancient posts of the Inca Guard and rest stops along its main roads. Due to being on an elevated platform it was given the denomination of strength. However, its function is still uncertain. It is currently an obligatory place to visit during the stay in the Imperial City, After our visit to Puka Pukara we will go to the last destination of our tour: Tambomachay.

The last destination of our tour is the archaeological center of Tambomachay. In this place, the ancient Incas worshiped water and is known as the spring of eternal youth. This archeological center is considered one of the shrines of the first "ceque" (huge imaginary lines, which were used to organize sanctuaries and huacas in the surroundings of the Antisuyo, departing from the city of Cusco).
