Coricancha: An impressive example of a blend of Incan and Colonial architecture. The original complex was dedicated to the veneration of the sun and it was one of the most important temples in the Inca Empire. After the arrival of the Spaniards in Cusco, the temple foundations and walls were used as a base for the construction of the convent of Santo Domingo.

Our family had an unforgettable adventure exploring the Andean highlights, especially the breathtaking views of Machu Picchu and the serene beauty of Lake Titicaca. The private tour allowed us to connect with the local culture and enjoy unique overnight experiences that brought a personal touch to our journey. While we loved the itinerary, we found some transitions between locations a bit rushed, but it didn’t overshadow the amazing memories we created together.
