We will start at noon picking up our passengers from their respective hotels and then having as the first place to visit the Cathedral of Cusco, this church that is considered the largest and most important in the city stores more than 300 paintings from the famous Cusquenian school inside. Cusco, with works from the 17th century mostly, that is why it is considered one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the American continent.

Then we will continue the visit to the Temple of Santo Domingo, it is here where we can observe in detail how the mixture of the 2 cultures was, since a colonial-style temple on Inca constructions will be appreciated since in the past this place was known as the Coricancha or temple of the sun in Inca times, the style of construction that you will see in this place is one of the best developed by the ancient inhabitants of Peru.

Once the visit to the Temple of the Sun is over, we will board our transport to leave the city towards Sacsayhuaman, which is located about 20 minutes from the main square at the top of the city, this place was considered by many as a Inca fortress due to the large size of its walls, however, recent studies revealed that the place was a religious ceremonial center that our guide explained in greater detail.

Very close to Sacsayhuaman are Quenqo, Pucapucara and Tambomachay. All these places will be visited in the same way so that you can have a better understanding of how this ancient Inca civilization developed so much technology to carry out its stone constructions that despite the years still they survive.

Finally we will return to the city of Cusco arriving at the main square at approximately 6:00 p.m.
