Morning flight to Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire. After your arrival you will be escorted to your hotel to take a cup of coca tea, which is widely used to help relieve from the altitude sickness symptoms. Rest of the morning at leisure to relax and to gradually get used to the altitude.
Your comprehensive afternoon tour includes the beautiful Koricancha or Sun Temple, the Cathedral, the San Blas Church with its beautiful pulpit as well as the Fortress of Sacsayhuaman, a most remarkable Inca building, the amphitheater of Kenko. This is followed by a visit to Puca Pucara, a strategically located 'red fortress' that dominates the entire area before visiting Tambomachay, with its two distinctive aqueducts that to this day continue to provide clean water to the area.
