The Cusco City Tour & 4 Archeological Sites is the quintessential introductory excursion for every traveler arriving in the historical capital of the Inca Empire.

Starting in the heart of the imperial city, you will explore the Qoricancha (Golden Temple of the Sun), the supreme spiritual and astronomical sanctuary of the Incas, whose stone walls were once completely covered in sheets of solid gold before the Spanish conquest.

Ascending just above the city, explore the colossal megalithic zigzag fortress of Sacsayhuamán, built with carved granite boulders weighing up to 128 tons fitted together with microscopic precision. Continue to the mystical carved limestone labyrinth of Qenqo, the military hilltop fortress of Puka Pukara, and the ceremonial water temple and royal baths of Tambomachay.

Conducted by certified official guides, this 4 to 5-hour excursion unveils the architecture, engineering, astronomy, and worldview of ancient Tawantinsuyu.
