Itinerary

Day 1: From Cusco to Saqsaywaman Qenqo Pucapucara, Tambomachay and Cristo Blanco

The tour starts with a meeting point in the Main Square of the city of Cusco (next to the fountain) at 1:30 p.m. From there, we will begin our experience by heading to Sacsayhuamán, an impressive Inca fortress renowned for its enormous, perfectly fitted stone walls.

We will continue on to Q’enqo, an important ceremonial center where religious rituals were performed. We will also take a tour of the Q’enqo Forest, a unique natural setting surrounded by rock formations, trails, and landscapes that give it a mystical and special atmosphere.

Next, we will visit Puca Pucara, an ancient military structure that served as a checkpoint and guard post to protect the entrances to the Inca city.

Our next stop will be Tambomachay, known as the “Temple of Water,” famous for its ceremonial canals and fountains, which demonstrate the Incas’ advanced knowledge of hydraulics.

Finally, we will stop at the Cristo Blanco, a prime vista point offering a spectacular panoramic view of the city of Cusco, ideal for taking unforgettable photographs.

The tour concludes with your return to the city, offering you a well-rounded experience that combines history, culture, and unique landscapes.
