Peru Tour Package – Exclusive Destinations in 6 Days

Places we will arrive

Welcome to the Incan city of Cusco, the cultural capital of Peru. Upon arrival we will pick you up from the airport and take you to your hotel to drop off your luggage and freshen up. After lunch and when you are ready, we will take a half-day tour of this incredible place while you acclimatize to the high altitude (3400 m / 11,155 ft).

We set off on our adventure in the city of Cusco and visit the following attractions:

The Cusco Cathedral
Located in the Plaza de Armas of Cusco, the cathedral is a colonial monument of great artistic value. It was built on the Inca Palace of Wiracocha and houses carved wooden works such as the choir, pulpit and altars, beautiful paintings from the Cusco School of Art (including a painting of the Last Supper in which Christ and his disciples eat guinea pig) and embossed silver works. This cathedral flanks the grandiose Plaza de Armas, the historical and cultural heart of Cusco.

Qoricancha Temple
This religious center was built to worship the Sun, the most revered deity during the Inca Empire. Inside the temple, you will find smaller temples dedicated to the sun, the moon, the stars, etc. Outside there are beautiful gardens and royal fountains on the grounds of the monumental temple. Here, the combination of extraordinary Inca architecture and Spanish colonial architecture is what stands out the most. In addition, the gallery of the Cusqueña School of Art offers you the opportunity to appreciate some of its colonial art pieces.

Sacsayhuaman
Located 2 km from the city of Cusco, this fortress was built with huge carved rocks joined together with captivating precision. It is composed of three superimposed platforms with an average length of 360 meters. In its construction, you can see stones up to 9 meters high! From here, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the city of Cusco along with the beautiful landscape formed by the surrounding mountains.

Qenqo
Located 1.4 km from Sacsayhuaman, this complex was an Inca ceremonial cult center. The most prominent feature of this complex is an open space called an amphitheater. In its time, you would have found Inca mummies in the 19 trapezoidal niches found here. Today, the amphitheater is half of its original height.

Puka Pukara
This complex is known as the “red fortress” due to its reddish tones resulting from the large amount of iron in its rocks. It is thought that this fortress was perhaps an ancient Tambo (storage area) that served both as a resting place and as a lookout to protect Tambomachay. Here you can see attractive architecture, fountains, aqueducts and various Inca enclosures.

Tambomachay
This complex is made up of a combination of finely carved stones, waterfalls and aqueducts to carry water from the nearby springs and hot springs. For this reason, Tambomachay is associated with the cult of water. In front of this construction, there is a tower that is said to have served as a lookout post and communication tower.

After exploring the wonderful places, we will return to the door of your hotel.
