Splendor of Inca fortress on display
This site is located on a hill overlooking Cusco. It demonstrates the splendor of Inca construction with hundreds of stones, some of which are hugh, seamlessly joined together without mortar. The best way to remember the name of the site is to remember “sexy woman.” This site has a beautiful serenity to it. It is an easy drive up to the site from the central plaza and is close to another site farther up the hill.

Part of the Cuzco City Tour
Beautiful and interesting place but the visit is 30 minutes maximum. It is part of the points of interest of any private City Tour. There is no activity in attraction, it is only contemplative. To understand what the Inca culture is about, refer to a guide.

Seamless Experience: From Sacsayhuaman to Tambomachay
The tour was a great experience! The car was nice and comfortable, and our guide was very good, providing excellent context for all the sites we visited. We followed the itinerary perfectly, seeing Sacsayhuaman, Q'enqo, Pucapucara, and Tambomachay as described.
A lovely addition to the trip was a stop at a llama farm where we got to see the animals up close—it was a very cute highlight. While there was a baby alpaca store on-site, the items were good value and there was absolutely no pressure to buy anything, which made the stop much more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to see these historical landmarks efficiently and comfortably!

Very nice visit, to do accompanied by a guide to discover all the subtleties
Very nice visit to these Inca ruins, well guided by Julio Torres, a French-speaking guide who was fascinating during the big hour of visit.
This site allows you to appreciate the architecture and the Inca astronomical analyses and skills.
You have to plan a big hour, from the main entrance knowing that the climb from the Place d’Armes de Cuzco takes about fifty minutes taking the time to take photos at the different viewpoints.
I can only advise to take a guide, which can show you the subtleties of the site (tunnel, acoustics of places, drawings, fossilized shells, etc.)

Sacsayhuamán
Of the 4 ruins it is the one I liked the most. I had to buy the complete boleto for the next visits, but if you do not have time and it is you have to choose a site only recommend this. Even without a guide if you read on the internet. Cmq you will find on site guides that offer themselves. I used a taxi that took me to all the sites x 110 soles

Not to be missed
A fantastic archaeological site, it stands in a panoramic area of the city, the blocks that make up the perimeter walls are gigantic and perfectly interlocked. It is a must-see for those coming to Peru.
