Traditional Tours 2008

Cusco has become the highlight of most people traveling to Peru and South America. The ancient capital of the Inca Empire and its surroundings has a combination of history, mysticism and authenticity that is rarely equaled by any other city in the continent. This magical touch has drawn the interest of artists, photographers, shamans and thousands of travelers every year.

The city offers innumerable attractions, from wandering along its well-preserved colonial streets, to visiting Inca archaeological sites, attending Quechua masses in the Sacred Valley, visiting the very interesting Inca Museum, or just enjoying its rich gastronomy and always-active nightlife.

We have selected the following tours in Cusco and its surroundings:

City Tour
(1/2D - afternoon)

The traditional visit of the city is the first recommended tour as an introduction that will allow a better understanding of what you might visit afterwards. It covers the visit of the Sun Temple (Koricancha) and the Cathedral in Cusco, to then continue on to visit 4 archaeological sites in the city surroundings: the impressive Sacsayhuaman, Q’enqo, Pucapucara and Tambomachay.

This tour is available in Pool Service and in Private Service.

In this tour, a private service is highly recommended since it has the big advantage of allowing a customized tour in which you can choose the sites you wish to visit, as well as the duration of the visit in each case, not being subject to a larger group itinerary and timings. Recommended places to visit in the Sacred Valley are the following:

  • Pisaq ruins
  • Pisaq market
  • Ollantaytambo archaeological site
  • Chinchero colonial village, church, site and Andean market
  • Maras salt pans
  • Moray agricultural terraces

For all private tour itineraries, we recommend a selection of a maximum of 3-4 of the above-mentioned attractions to be covered in one day.
