About This Tour

This immersive experience takes you beyond the city’s vibrant streets to explore four remarkable archaeological sites and offers a unique glimpse into the rich history and architectural genius of the Inca civilization. We will embark on a pilgrimage, retracing the footsteps of the ancient Incas. Our first stop is Tambomachay, an Inca ceremonial site known as the ‘Baths of the Inca,’ known for its intricate water channels and fountains, believed to have been dedicated to the worship of water. Next, we will visit Puca Pucara, a strategically positioned military outpost that also served as a rest stop along the Inca road system. From there, we continue to Q’enqo, a sacred site where you’ll encounter an intricately carved rock altar, once used for ceremonial offerings to the gods. Our final destination is the awe-inspiring Sacsayhuaman, an ancient fortress that remains one of the most remarkable examples of Inca stonework. As we explore its vast complex, the sheer scale and precision of the massive stones used in its construction will leave you speechless. From the commanding viewpoint, you’ll be treated to breathtaking panoramic views of the Cusco Valley, offering the perfect opportunity to take in the natural beauty while adjusting to the high altitude.
