About this activity
Discover the magic and beauty of the capital of the Incan Empire. We will climb up the Archeological Park of Sacsayhuaman, and start our excursion visiting the fortress with the same name, a beautiful place that radiates peace and quiet, where we will be able to admire the huge rocks measuring up to 4 meters high that were used in its construction. We will then head for Q'enqo, and ancient temple of the Puma, where we will be able to appreciate an altar for sacrifices in the inner part of a huge rock, and then Tambomachay, sacred fountains of life and health. On the way, we will have a beautiful view from Puca Pucara, a watchtower that controlled the entrance to the city. After that, we will visit the Temple of the Sun The Korikancha, on top of which the Saint Dominique Convent was built. A legend tells that his temple was entirely lined with gold sheets that awe struck the Conquistadors upon their arrival. Finally, we will go to the Main Square and will visit the Cathedral that contains invaluable colonial paintings and other works of art such as the Cross that arrived with the first conquistadors. * This tour is available in private service upon request.
