Itinerary
Next, we will head to Qoricancha, which in Quechua means "Temple of Gold." It was the first temple built by the Incas, which was formerly covered in large quantities of gold and silver.
We will leave the city of Cusco to visit the Saqsayhuaman complex, famous for its huge megalithic stones weighing over 150 tons. During the Inca Empire, it was considered the Temple of Lightning, dedicated to "the god Illapa."
Next, we will visit the Q'enqo temple, a place dedicated to Pacha Mama (Mother Earth) where you can see intricate stone carvings.
Afterward, we will arrive at the impressive Inca fortress, Puka Pukara, which means "Red Fortress" in Quechua due to the reddish stone structures that make up its walls and buildings.
Finally, we will reach Tambomachay, where you will see the sacred temple dedicated to water worship, which likely also served as a purification bath for Inca rulers. In the late afternoon, we will return to Cusco, where we will drop you off at your hotel or, if you prefer, at the Plaza de Armas. Note: The remaining time is for the round tour and time spent sightseeing or explorations.

I am super satisfied with the choice of Peru Grand Travell, as everything went to a thousand wonders. We were 3 and had the privilege of having during all the trips and visits a guide only for us, which led us to know Cusco, its temples, its craftsmanship and art with the wool of alpaca, mud and vicuia, the history of a great civilization. The schedules were always spectacularly fulfilled and the day ended at the end of the afternoon, having us still time to stroll through the center of Cusco and of course make a few comins
A wonderful experience the guide explained in detail about the history and culture of the locations.
