De Tour in Cusco neemt je mee langs alle belangrijke bezienswaardigheden in Cusco. Inclusief bezoeken aan de Tempel van de Zon (Qoricancha) en de verschillende Inca-locaties buiten de stad, krijg je een ongelooflijke mix van Inca- en Spaanse stijlen te zien en in het geval van de Qoricancha, de twee gecombineerd. Cuzco is echt een fascinerende plek om te bezoeken; Door een mix van de twee culturen (Inca en Spaans) heeft de stad een look en feel die totaal anders is dan de rest van Peru.

Het is een van de mooiste en belangrijkste bouwwerken in de stad Cusco, die unieke kenmerken combineert, zoals de gotische, barokke en renaissancestijlen.
Het was in de Inca-tijden een plaats van aanbidding voor de god Inti (zon), een plaats vol geschiedenis.
Een van de emblematische gebouwen van het Inca-rijk (een paar minuten van het stadscentrum en een UNESCO-werelderfgoed) gebouwd door de Inca Pachacutec in de 15e eeuw. Het is een immens fort gebouwd met enorme stenen; hoe ze werden vervoerd en gewerkt, blijft een mysterie.
Wat vandaag overblijft van het archeologische complex van Q'enqo zijn uitgehouwen rotsen die niet door de Spanjaarden konden worden vernietigd; Er zijn weinig overblijfselen van de paden en aquaducten, evenals de omheiningen, de afzettingen of de liturgische baden, naast de grote laag goud die de hele plaats verlichtte.
Puka Pukara had specifieke militaire doeleinden, het was de ingangscontrolepost naar de stad Cusco, "de hoofdstad van het rijk", maar het diende ook als een "tambo" (rustplaats) voor de chaski's die berichten of pakketten vervoerden van stad tot stad dorp. Op de helling werden gedehydrateerde producten opgeslagen; dankzij de harde wind waren de producten langer houdbaar in een soort koelkast.
Tambomachay was een aanbiddingscentrum voor water. De Inca's vroegen de goden dat de regen zou komen voor hun gewassen en dat ze vruchtbaar zouden worden; Dat is de reden waarom dit centrum door sommigen bekend staat als "The Temple of Fertility". Het is indrukwekkend dat, ondanks het verstrijken van de tijd, er nog steeds kristalhelder water door de aquaducten stroomt. De Inca's gebruikten hun vindingrijkheid om het water van een kleine waterval te kanaliseren en het in 2 watervallen te verdelen. De legende gaat dat als vrouwen uit dit water drinken, ze gemakkelijk zwanger kunnen worden; als het water van de rechterkant van de val komt, krijgen ze een mannelijk kind en als het van de linkerkant komt, is het een vrouwtje. Tambomachay had beperkte toegang voor de bevolking van de stad, alleen de Inca en zijn entourage konden de faciliteiten gebruiken.
Alle pick-ups zijn rond het stadscentrum van Cusco.

Excellent experience on the Cusco City Tour and the ruins. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and entertaining, making the history of each place much more interesting. We visited incredible places and learned a lot about the Inca culture and the history of Cusco. Very good organization and excellent service. Totally recommended!
we selected the English tour. However, we were mixed with a Spanish tour together. So 80% of the time, we can't understand what the tour guide was saying when she was speaking Spanish.
Alfredo was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. He was always conscientious of our safety, enjoyment, and preferences. His background as an educator and scholar of history compliments and supports each experience with a thorough and deeper knowledge of ancient wisdom paths and practices that take everything much deeper, far beyond a mere tour process. He is a truly heart-centered man of integrity, kindness, and authentic, joyful and empathetic understanding and insight, with a thorough familiarity with a multitude of ancient places, sacred sites, and all the current roads, routes, people and locations one would need or desire to have access to or to be aware of in making for a successful, memorable, and worthwhile journey in Peru. His assistant Ruben is also a wonderful, friendly, bright and caring man of many talents as well. This company’s services are highly recommended!
I took this tour immediately after reaching Cusco from an overnight bus journey and though I was quite tired, it was thanks to the guide Richard who's excellent knowledge and entertaining mannerisms never let me feel the tiredness and I enjoyed the trip thoroughly from start to end. Richard was even helpful in giving me directions to my next destination and I will always recommend him for his thorough knowledge of history and local culture. I don't have much to say about the tour company but I will forever cherish the tour thanks to Richard
This review is for our guide Percy Gonzales. Percy spent four days with us, he took us to all the most important sites around Cusco, of course including Machupicchu, Moray, Chincheros and more. During the four days he didn’t gives us but only an excellent service in all aspects; his attention to details of planning, his communication at every moment, and his knowledge about the history of the Inca places is something I appreciated a lot. Percy was always courteous, polite, funny, attentive to our needs, and in my opinion he went beyond his duties. I’ll recommend Percy to any one, without thinking , that wants to have a tour in Perú of a lifetime. I now consider Percy my good friend from Cusco, and hopefully we’ll meet again in the future. Gracias amigo Percy, un abrazo, papá 🤗.
This my first trip to Peru for me and my husband and hired this group through a travel agency in Mexico to get a personalized experience. They really exceeded our expectations. Our guide assigned in Cusco provided a great service with lots of information about the Inca culture. He was very respectful, always on time and provided us with useful tips to better enjoy our experience. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone who would like to travel to Peru and specifically to Cusco.
Very nice man, very clean and comfortable car. He drives safely and efficiently! Will contact him when I come back to Cusco for tours!!
My friend and I had an amazing experience in Peru that was organized and guided by Paqarina Journeys Peru. From the planning stage through every part of the journey, it was wonderful to be guided by them. We toured all of the sites in Cusco and surrounding areas as well as Chinchero, Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu. We could relax and enjoy because every detail of travel and lodging was meticulously arranged by the staff of Paqarina. Our guide and all of the staff were exquisitely kind and warm. They are knowledgeable about the history of Peru, the important aspects of Andean Culture and the history and spiritual significance of all of the archeological sites. Our guide was able to share detailed information with us when we wanted it, and he knew when to be still to let us absorb the vast and powerful energies of the Andes. My favorite part of the journey was sitting on the ground high in the mountains while our guide told us the names of the peaks and their significance. I will be recommending Paqarina Journeys Peru to any family or friends who want to go to Peru and I will surely be contacting them again to guide my next journey to Peru in 2023.
The folks at Paqarina are more than just travel agents and tour guides. They are steeped in the history and cultural significance of their homeland. I was impressed not only with the breadth of their historical knowledge, but a deeper understanding of the spiritual significance and cosmology that imbues the sites of this sacred land. Their customer service and attention to detail behind the scenes made our trip and our time with Paqarina feel like being with family. You can put your trust in Paqarina to help your time in Cusco be an experience of a lifetime.
I took part in a variety of offerings with Paquarina Journeys and am impressed by the level of care, knowledge and attention that I received while touring with them. In fact, whenever I am asked for recommendations on whom to go to for a proper tour of Cusco and the neighboring areas I always recommend them. Thank You for such a unforgettable experience!
