Itinerary

We will begin this day by picking you up at around 1:00 p.m. from your hotel - please make sure to have an early lunch. We will then take you to the impressive Sun Temple ‘Qorikancha’, a sacred site that was devoted to the Father Sun ‘Tayta Inti’. After burning the site to the ground, the Spanish built the Catholic Church ‘Santa Domingo’ above its ashes.

Later, we will set off to four key historical sites closest to the city: Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo, Pucapucara y Tambomachay, where you will be able to fully grasp the remarkable ingenuity of Inca engineering and architecture who created these giant constructions in harmony with Mother Earth ‘Pachamama’. We will have time at each site to contemplate and connect with these mystical sites.

Our tour will end at around 7:00 p.m.
