Begin your journey just outside Cusco with a visit to Sacsayhuamán, the impressive Inca fortress built with massive stone walls that fit together so precisely no mortar was needed. From here, enjoy panoramic views of the city and learn about the site’s ceremonial and military importance.

Continue to Qenqo, a fascinating ritual site where carved rock chambers, altars, and labyrinth-like passages reveal the Inca’s spiritual connection with nature and the cosmos.

Next, explore Puca Pucara, known as the “Red Fortress” for the color of its stones. This strategic site served as a military post and checkpoint controlling the entrance to Cusco.

Finally, visit Tambomachay, often called the “Bath of the Inca,” where finely engineered aqueducts and waterfalls highlight the Incas’ advanced knowledge of water management and their reverence for natural springs.

This half-day tour combines history, culture, and stunning landscapes close by Cusco city.
