    Regardless of the schedule (morning or afternoon), we will start with our guided tour of the city of Cusco, visiting first the impressive Cathedral of Cusco that is located next to the Plaza de Armas of Cusco. In this important colonial temple, we will observe the architecture of the Andean baroque and the best samples of the Andean religious art, as well as some colonial paintings.

    During the guided tour of Sacsayhuamán, we will walk through impressive temples, sacred precincts, and platforms that were built with immense blocks of stone. And from its viewpoint, we will also observe in all its magnitude the imposing city of Cusco, as well as the most important mountains that protect it and the beautiful landscapes that surround Sacsayhuamán.
