The tour begins by picking up guests from their hotel, depending on the chosen schedule. If the hotel is outside the historic center, the first stop is the Cathedral. This magnificent Colonial Church, dating back to 1960, is situated in Cusco’s main square and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1972. Following this, other archaeological sites will be visited.

Koricancha Temple (Santo Domingo) - Known as the “Temple of the Sun,” its flawless architecture and stone construction highlight its significance as the most important temple of the Inca Empire.

Sacsayhuaman - Attributed to the Incas of the last dynasties, this site is located 3 km from Cusco, on the upper part of the city. Chroniclers describe it as a solar shrine, built with massive limestone blocks to defend the city from eastern invaders. It features three large terraces arranged in a zigzag pattern, bordered by enormous rock walls.

Qenqo - Situated a kilometer from Sacsayhuaman, this ceremonial center features a central giant monolith, possibly representing an animal, which was the main deity, surrounded by niches for offerings.

PucaPucara - An old tambo and guard post along the roads, its rustic construction includes streets, houses, and courtyards.

Tambomachay - Located 9 km from the city, known as the Inca baths due to the design of its water sources, it may have also served as a temple dedicated to water worship and purification for the Inca.
