Itinéraire
Au cœur du centre historique de Cusco se dresse Qorikancha, connu sous le nom de Temple du Soleil et l'un des centres religieux les plus importants de l'Empire Inca. Au cours de la visite, vous pourrez voir sa maçonnerie inca et observer comment l'espace a ensuite été incorporé au couvent de Saint-Domingue.
Notre prochaine étape sera Sacsayhuaman, l'un des complexes archéologiques les plus impressionnants de Cusco. Ses pierres massives, soigneusement emboîtées, révèlent les connaissances avancées des Incas en matière d'ingénierie et de construction. Le site est situé à environ 3 700 mètres d'altitude. La visite se déroule à un rythme décontracté, permettant de profiter du site et des explications du Guide.
À quelques minutes de Sacsayhuaman se trouve Q'enqo, un important centre cérémoniel inca. Le site présente des formations rocheuses, des passages et des espaces sculptés qui révèlent certaines des pratiques et rituels religieux pratiqués par les Incas.
En continuant à travers les montagnes, nous arriverons à Puka Pukara, un site archéologique avec des caractéristiques ressemblant à celles d'une forteresse. On pense que le site a rempli des fonctions liées au contrôle, à la surveillance et au soutien des voyageurs arrivant à Cusco. Situé à environ 3 700 mètres d'altitude, Puka Pukara offre également une vue magnifique sur les montagnes environnantes.
Tambomachay est l'un des exemples les plus fascinants de génie hydraulique inca. Le complexe se compose de canaux, d'aqueducs et de fontaines d'eau soigneusement construits, mettant en valeur les connaissances des Incas sur la façon de tirer le meilleur parti des ressources naturelles. Le site est situé à environ 3 800 mètres d'altitude.
Avant de terminer la visite, nous ferons un arrêt spécial à Granja Munay Wasi, où vous pourrez voir de près certaines des espèces les plus emblématiques des Andes, telles que les lamas et les alpagas du Pérou.

We closed a 10-day package with Machu Picchu Travel and, according to the agency, the city tour in Cusco was a courtesy included in the route. The tour lasted about 2h30 walking through Plaza Regocijo, Plaza San Francisco and Mercado de San Pedro, with historical and cultural information presented by the guide. When we arrived at St. Peter's Market, I expected the guide to talk about local food and give time to explore the environment, but we ended up passing only by the chocolate store presented by him. After this tour, we participated in other tours (Qoricancha, Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo etc.), and the guides ended up repeating many of the same information already presented on the city tour of Cusco. I felt a lack of explanations on important points, such as the Stone of the 12 Angles, as well as a presentation of the typical and different fruits found at the St. Peter’s Market. Of all the tours in the package, this was the one I liked least. I believe that a free morning to explore the city on your own would have been much more profitable.

This tour was an exceptional, highly informative half-day excursion of Cusco starting at Qoricancha (Santo Domingo Temple), and nearby archeological sites such as Sacsayhuaman, Q'enqo, and Tambomachay. We took a private tour for our family of four. Herbert, our guide was very knowledgeable and shared deep hitorical context about the Inca and colonial history. He was very friendly and always attentive to our needs.

Absolutely the WORST tour company we have ever taken in 50 years of traveling, Viagens Machu Picchu. Their pick up point was not clear at all, they ignored all my calls and messages regarding the pickup point. They did not make any efforts to find us within Cusco main square where all the other tour company representatives met with their tourists. The only saving grace was from the company that hires and sells these tours. I give Viator a 5 Star rating. Viator was very responsible; they requested all my information regarding the very poor service and late cancellation request and after Viator looked into our case, they decided to reimburse us for the cost of the tour. Do not take a Viagens Machu Picchu tour. The representative, Mr. Viagens was also very rude and lied about getting back to us; he never did!!
Hi! We are sorry to hear your account, and we regret what happened; we believe it was all just a coordination issue. We take each of your viewpoints into account, Viagens Machu Picchu strives every day to provide quality service.
