1
Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport
It will be a pleasure to welcome you to the imperial city of Cusco (3,399 m / 11,151 ft). This day we will be attentive to your arrival at the airport or bus terminal, ready to assist you in your transfer to your hotel. The city of Cusco, located in the heart of the Andes, requires adequate acclimatization before starting any adventure. Therefore, we will dedicate this first day to enjoy the city while your body adapts to the altitude.

Qorikancha
In the afternoon, after your accommodation in the hotel, we will start the tour of the Cusco City Tour visiting the Qoricancha (3,390 m / 11,122 ft), considered in times of the Inca Empire as one of the holiest places dedicated to the god Inti, the Sun. Its walls and passageways tell stories of a glorious past that still lives on its walls.

Saqsaywaman
We will continue to Sacsayhuaman (3,700 m / 12,139 ft), an archaeological site that, for its monumental architecture, was considered a ceremonial fortress. Its huge stone walls, perfectly fitted, are a clear example of the talent and precision of the Inca builders.

Tambomachay
Later we will reach Tambomachay (3,812 m / 12,507 ft), a place known as “Baños del Inca”. Here, water was worshipped through canals, fountains and aqueducts that continue to function after centuries, reflecting the deep respect of the Incas for this vital element.
