Reels CITY TOUR – HALF DAY


day 1
Cusco City Tour

Around (09:00 am hrs or 13:00 pm). you will be picked up from your hotel so that you can make the City Tour in the city of Cusco, your first destination to visit will be the Temple of Qoricancha (golden venue), this place was one of the ceremonial centers most important for the Incas, in which the most important ceremonies were performed, at the same time it was used to keep the main idols they had as Gods.

After your visit to this important place, you will visit the second tourist place on the City Tour.

The second tourist place on this City Tour will be the Archaeological Center of Sacsayhuamán. The “ceremonial fortress” of Sacsayhuamán is, with its megalithic walls, the greatest architectural work that the Incas carried out during its heyday. From the fortress you can see a unique panoramic view of the surroundings, including the city of Cusco, in this place we will have a guided tour of approximately 50 min to be able to tour the entire area and take pictures calmly.

As a third place on the City Tour that we will visit in the city of Cusco is the ceremonial center of Qenqo (labyrinth) that receives this name in the Quechua language for its short and zigzagging passages, this is a very special place. In the Andean worldview, this huaca was built to evoke Kaypacha, the ancient serpent or origin of life. In addition, the ancient Peruvians used this site to communicate with other deities such as the sun, the mountain, the moon, the earth and the stars. Everything is arranged in a secret and magical way: the channels, the labyrinths, the amphitheater and the sacrificial room.
The fourth stop on this City Tour will be in Puca Pucara, this fortress was a control point for those who entered and left the city of Cusco, this place is made up of large walls, terraces and stairways that were part of the defensive complex of the city of Cusco in particular and the Inca Empire in general.

The fifth and last destination to visit to finish this City Tour is called Tambomachay (Quechua: tampu mach’ay, ‘place of rest), it consists of an archaeological site that was destined for the worship of water and for the potentate of the Inca Empire I could rest. It consists of a series of aqueducts, channels and several waterfalls that run through the rocks. Highlight from this that, from a main waterfall, the Incas created two secondary waterfalls, which are exactly the same.

Once our entire tour is finished at approximately 6:30 p.m. Our bus will leave us at the midpoint of the city of Cusco a few blocks from the Plaza de Armas so that all tourists can go to their hotel independently.

RECOMENDATIONS

Recommended season to travel to Cusco

Although the city of Cusco is visited by tourists practically throughout the year, it is important to emphasize the two seasons or seasons that you will find.

The dry season runs from May to the end of October. During this season it is obviously less likely that it will rain (especially in a much stronger way), and it is the time or season in which it is most recommended to visit Cusco.

Just consider that within this period of months, July and August are usually the months in which more visitors from many parts of the world arrive in Peru.
