From €12 per person
See availability →A Cusco city tour in half a day, in the morning or afternoon, taking in Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay, with an optional stop at Qoricancha.
This Cusco city tour packs the main Inca sites around the city into half a day, and you choose a morning or an afternoon departure. A minivan collects you at your hotel if it is in the urban area of Cusco, or you can meet the guide in the main square. The first stop is the Qoricancha temple, which is optional.
The route itself begins at the fortress of Sacsayhuaman, one of the best-known Inca buildings, from where almost the whole city lies in view. Next is Qenqo, a complex used mainly for ceremonial and astronomical purposes, and then Puca Pucara, a military fortress with plazas, baths, aqueducts, walls and towers.
- Sacsayhuaman, for the view over the city
