Cusco Vacation Package – Best Travel Packages to Cusco Peru

Our representative will be meeting you at the airport in Cusco and will be transferring you to your hotel. 

We recommend you to reach Cusco before noon as the Cusco Tour begins at 0100 PM. 

Qorikancha:

The half-day Cusco City tour begins with a visit to the emblematic Incas Sun Temple (Qorikancha). 

To the Incas, Qorikancha was the most sacred site. As they worshiped the nature entities, this temple was dedicated to their supreme God – Inti (Sun). Legends say that the patio of the temple was once full of statues made entirely of Gold. 

When the Spanish conquerors kidnapped the Incan emperor, Atahualpa, they demanded a ransom for his release. Most of the gold was melted and was paid as ransom for his release. The conquistadors, however, much to the colonial form, killed him on receiving the ransom.

Sacsayhuaman:

We will then drive you to Sacsayhuaman. This is one of the unmissable sights in Cusco. This stunning stone fortress is built on a hilltop overlooking the main square of Cusco city. This is one of the places where you can see the advancement of Incan engineering. They did not use any mortars to join these stones that weigh over a ton each. 

They accurately carved the edges of the stones to fit each other. In fact, is it so precise that you cannot even slide a paper between them. It is however still a mystery how the Incas transported these heavy stones here.

Q’enqo:

Nestled quite off the beaten track, Q’enqo was used by Incas as a site to do sacrifices. Also, it is in Qenqo they did the mummification of corpses.

Tambomachay:

Another renowned archeological site, Tambomachay served as a spa to the political elite of Incas. There are channels here from where natural spring water from the nearby hot springs flow even today

Puca Pucara:

The name in Quechua means red fort. It was named by the Incas after the color of the rock that becomes reddish at sunset. 

The incan military used this site to safeguard their capital city, Cusco.

We will be picking you up from your hotel in Cusco at 0700 AM. Then in our private transport, we will embark on a journey to Chinchero. 

Chinchero:

It is home to Andean textile. This beautiful and serene village is often overlooked by tourists. It houses a white-washed church which was once a royal palace of Incan emperor Pachacutec. 

Among all sites in Sacred Valley, Chinchero has the most fertile soil. During the Inca civilization, under the leadership of Pachacutec, they built many farming terraces. The water channels here are a testament to the advancement of Inca engineering. 

Moray and Maras:

We will then drive you to Moray and Maras. Both these sites have played a prominent role and continue to do even today. Moray is home to circular agricultural terraces which served as an agricultural laboratory to Incas. 

Maras is home to the salt mines. It has been passed down generation after generation. Locals here continue to practice the traditional Solar Evaporation salt farming method. Our local expert will be explaining to you in detail. 

We will then stop for a buffet lunch in Urubamba.
