After airport pickup and hotel check-in, we begin our journey with a guided city tour starting at 1:30 p.m. Our first stop is the spiritual heart of the Inca Empire—Qoricancha, the Sun Temple, where golden walls once shimmered in the light. Next, we visit Sacsayhuamán, a fortress with enormous stones placed so precisely that not even a sheet of paper fits between them. We continue to Q’enqo, a ceremonial site carved into rock, and Puca Pucara, a former military outpost with sweeping views. Finally, we explore Tambomachay, the Inca baths, where water still flows through ancient aqueducts. Return to Cusco by early evening and enjoy a warm welcome dinner in a nice restaurant located in the heart of Cusco.
