What you'll see & do
- ✓Your private Cusco city tour begins with pick-up from your hotel at the time you choose, 9:00 am or 1:30 pm. You meet your friendly local guide and hop into a modern, comfortable private van, where you’ll get a short introduction to the city and the Inca history that shaped it. You start with an easy walking tour around the Plaza de Armas, the heart of Cusco. From there, you follow your guide through the old streets to see the famous 12 Angled Stone on Hatunrumiyoc Street and the original Inca walls of Loreto Street. Next, you visit Koricancha (Temple of the Sun), once the most important temple of the Inca Empire, and learn how the Incas combined science, religion, and astronomy in one sacred place. After exploring the center, you drive up in your private van to the impressive fortress of Sacsayhuaman, where giant stone walls and wide views over Cusco make it one of the highlights of the day. You then continue to Qenqo, Tambomachay, and Puca Pucara, three important Inca sites just outside the city, known for their carved rocks, ceremonial fountains, and ancient lookout points. Your guide keeps the pace relaxed and adapts the tour to your interests, whether you prefer more photos, more stories, or more time just to enjoy the views. On the way back, you make a final stop at Cristo Blanco, the white Christ statue that looks over Cusco. Here you enjoy amazing panoramic views of the whole city, a perfect moment for photos and a last look over the red roofs of Cusco. Finally, you return by private van and are dropped off at your hotel or a central spot in town, with personal tips from your guide on where to eat, shop, or continue exploring.
