Why we love it?

This guided city tour offers a focused introduction to Cusco, the historic capital of the Inca Empire, blending visits to significant Inca archaeological sites with the city’s colonial heritage. You will explore the Temple of the Sun, known as Qoricancha, and the impressive Sacsayhuamán Fortress, along with other nearby Inca ruins perched on the hills surrounding Cusco. The tour is led by a local guide who provides context on the history, architecture, and culture of the area, making it suitable for travelers with limited time or those arriving in the morning. The experience includes hotel pickup and drop-off in an air-conditioned vehicle, while entrance fees for Qoricancha, the main cathedral, and the archaeological sites require a separate Cusco Tourist Ticket.
