Begin your adventure with a flight to the historic city of Cusco, the heart of the Inca Empire. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted and transferred to your hotel to settle in and acclimate to the high-altitude splendor of this ancient city.

The day’s exploration takes you to the Sacsayhuaman Archaeological Park, perched high above Cusco. Start with the awe-inspiring Sacsayhuaman Fortress, a place of profound serenity and history, where massive stones—some towering up to 13 feet (4 meters)—were masterfully fitted together in its construction. Continue to Q'enqo, an enigmatic temple dedicated to the cougar, where you’ll discover a ceremonial altar carved into the interior of a giant rock. Next, visit Tambomachay, where crystal-clear sacred fountains once symbolized life and health for the Incas.

On your return, enjoy a panoramic view of Puca Pucará, a red-toned watchtower that once stood sentinel over Cusco’s entrance. Back in the city, marvel at the architectural marvel of the Temple of the Sun, Qorikancha, where golden splendor once adorned its walls before the Santo Domingo Convent was built atop its remains. The journey culminates at the Plaza de Armas (Main Square) and the Cathedral, home to priceless colonial art, including the cross brought by the first Spanish conquerors.
