itinerary
The city tour is very simple because you won’t walk that much as in other treks. This tour starts in the morning or in the afternoon. But in case you want to start at a specific time let us know cause this tour takes only 5 hours and we will see 4 small archaeological sites like Tambomachay, Qenqo, Puka Pukara and Saqsayhuaman. The driving from Cusco to Tambomachay is only 30 minutes. This archaeological site is about 3700 m.a.s.l and would be the highest point in the tour, but remember that we get here by car and it is 5 minutes walking to get to Tambomachay. After seeing this point we go to Puka Pukara which is very close, like a minute by car and then hear the information of this place. Depending on the weather we can see a snow capped mountain from here. Then we continue to Qenqo which is an amazing place where the incas mummified. This place is still surrounded by mystery and you will see why once you get there. After Puka Pukara is only 10 minutes driving there and finally we go to Saqsayhuaman where we spend at least an hour because this is a huge area to explore. In this place we have huge rocks moved by the incas in the past. You will be surprised with all the architecture that you will see here plus the nice view point of Cusco city. By the end of our tour, we drive back to cusco For 20 minutes and drop you off in your hotel.
