We will pick you up early from your hotel in our private transport for this Tambomachay tour, and take you high above the city of the Cusco! From here, we will either continue by vehicle or by horse depending on what you chose at the time of booking.
We spend the morning visiting the most famous Inca ruins just outside Cusco: Tambomachay, Puca Pucara, the Temple of the Moon and Q’enqo, ending up at the spectacular archeological site of Sacsayhuaman. Our flexible itinerary allows you to walk down from Sacsayhuaman to Cusco (an interesting walk and helpful for trekkers needing to acclimatize to the altitude) or take private transport.
After lunch at a local restaurant, we will have a walking tour of Cusco, the ancient capital of the Incas and the “Navel of the World”. Our afternoon tour includes the Cathedral, Q’oricancha (the Temple of the Sun), as well as eminent weaving houses in the city where you can learn a little about this living tradition of the Incas.
