City tours

The capital of the Inca Empire, on foot and by van

Cusco was the navel of the Inca world and today is a UNESCO World Heritage city where Inca walls support colonial churches. Our city tour is the perfect first contact with its history and the ideal half-day activity while you acclimatize.

Visit the Qoricancha — the Temple of the Sun — and the great archaeological sites around the city: Sacsayhuamán, Q’enqo, Puka Pukara and Tambomachay, with a guide who explains the Inca engineering behind every stone.
