Itinerary
Start the tour with pickup from your hotel door between 8.30am and 9.00am (between 12.30pm and 1.00pm for the late shift). Visit the Cathedral of Cusco, located right in front of the square, in the company of the tour guide. There you will discover the colonial and religious treasures of gold and silver that still hides the most important church in the city.
Next to the tour guide we will advance a few blocks to the famous Coricancha temple, the most important of the Inca empire. There you will tour the best-worked constructions and temples of the sun, moon, stars and more.
Then the whole group will board the minivan transport to the fortress of Sacsayhuaman where they will visit the immense walls made of rocks up to 120 tons. How did the Incas mold these stones?
In Qenqo you can find several spaces in little space. There you can find a large stone with carvings that make you think it is a ceremonial space. As well as tunnels with constructions that still cannot be explained correctly.
It's considered a military fort. It has the presence of some spaces with finely carved stones and also walkery. This Inca site allows you to appreciate beautiful landscapes and have a strong relationship with Tambomachay.
It seems to be a large and extensive place dedicated to water. That is, a ceremonial temple to worship water. This is because it has Inca constructions with finely carved stones, as in the main temples of Cusco and Machu Picchu.

Excellent guide, Daylet helped us in everything. I had a special request, for no couple, and I helped myself impressively, photos, videos. He helped us from the night before, talk for preparations, until the same day of the tour, with admission, buses. How to tell the story of the shrine. Impressive truth. 100 points.
Hola David, muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia tan especial con nosotros. En Machu Picchu Terra nos encanta acompañar a nuestros viajeros en momentos únicos como el suyo. ¡Le agradecemos por su confianza y esperamos recibirlos nuevamente para vivir otra aventura inolvidable!
Machu Picchu Terra made sure we had a great time in Cusco. We had Raul as our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable in showing us around city and its ruins. Love how he focused on the Inkan history and culture. The Machu Picchu Terra team was also very communicative via Whatsapp whenever we had questions or concerns. We also booked our Sacred Valley tour and Machu Picchu Circuit 2 Guide with them. Request for Yersino for MP! Same as Raul, he shared a lot about Inkan history and architecture. He had a nice and effective way of sharing stories about the Inkas.
Hello Sheila, thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu, and that everything was well organized so that you could make the most of every moment. Greetings from Cusco, the archaeological capital of America.
A fantastic experience. Coco and his driver Teo were 10. The transfer to the different places is done in a very comfortable and new van. The explanations of the guide very practical and always adapted to the needs of our group.
Hola Andrés ¡Nos alegra mucho que hayas disfrutado tu experiencia! Es genial saber que el servicio fue cómodo, bien organizado y con un guía atento que hizo el recorrido más interesante y adaptado al grupo. Gracias por confiar en nosotros para descubrir los encantos de la región.
Coco ended up being a fabulous and fun tour guide ONCE WE FINALLY MET UP WITH HIM! Almost missed the MAIN REASON WE CAME! It's very upsetting to feel panicked in a huge crowd of people looking for our guide! Coco was great, but not answering his phone and not being at the meeting spot (then changing the meeting spot 20 minutes before our ticket time was EXTREMELY UPSETTING AND UNPROFESSIONAL!) We DID enjoy our tour, but we came very far to experience this and almost missing it should NEVER HAVE HAPPENED.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Coco was a fabulous and entertaining guide during your visit to Machu Picchu. We love knowing that we were able to contribute to such a special moment and that you took home beautiful memories of this magical place. Thank you for choosing us to accompany you on this adventure.
Day is a perfect guide, full of knowledge and attention. Support before, during and after the ride. We love the whole experience, I recommend 100%!
