**Breakfast Included at the Hotel**

Enjoy a free morning to acclimate.

Your tour will begin between 1:00 PM and 1:20 PM, with pickup from your accommodation, depending on its proximity to the historic center of Cusco.

Our first stop will be the impressive Qoricancha (Temple of the Sun), where you’ll marvel at the blend of Inca architecture with meticulously polished stone walls.

After visiting Qoricancha, we’ll head outside the city to Sacsayhuamán, where you’ll witness enormous stone blocks, some weighing up to 40 tons, precisely placed on top of each other. Our guide will share the significance of this site, both before the Spanish arrival and during the colonial era, as it was the location of one of the most important battles between the Incas and the Spanish.

Next, we’ll proceed to Qenqo, known as the “labyrinth” for its intricate passageways. Here, an ancient ceremonial table will be of particular interest, believed to have been the final resting place of Pachacuti.

Our tour bus will then take us to Puca Pucara (the “Red Fortress”), which served as an important checkpoint for those wishing to enter the sacred city of Cusco during the Inca period. Given the city’s sacred nature, travelers underwent a purification process—both physical and spiritual—at Tambomachay, the last stop on our tour, where you’ll admire the Incas' sophisticated hydraulic engineering.

The tour will conclude in Cusco around 6:30 PM.

Our tour begins with pickup from your hotel in Cusco, and then we’ll head to the enchanting town of *Maras*, located in the Urubamba province at an altitude of 3,300 meters (10,800 feet).

This charming town preserves treasures from the Pre-Hispanic, Colonial, and Republican eras. You’ll stroll through quaint streets lined with colonial facades adorned with the coats of arms of noble families and chiefs from the 17th and 18th centuries—a true step back in time.

Next, we’ll visit *Moray*, one of the region’s most unique archaeological sites. Here, you’ll discover impressive natural depressions transformed by the Incas into agricultural terraces equipped with an ancient irrigation system, creating what was essentially an outdoor greenhouse. The largest of these terraces is 150 meters deep, showcasing Inca agricultural innovation and serving as a significant center for agricultural experimentation.

Moray’s design allowed the Incas to achieve remarkable advances in agriculture, adapting crops to various conditions and altitudes.
