Itinerary

  • Brief Historical Review: A general review of the ancient city, really important to understand later facts.
  • San Pedro Market: It’s a must place to visit, in order to experience local life. The market stands 8 minutes walking from the main square.
  • Main Square: Nice wide stone pathways and colorful gardens, it’s the heart of the colonial center.
  • Temple of the chosen women: Accllawuasi is a Quechua word that means The house of the chosen women. The Acllas were the women with the best cultural preparation in the empire.
  • Alpaca & Llama’s Selfie: A quite hidden place where you can take some photos with those nice lovely animals.
  • Pachacutec Palace (Qasana): Qasana is a Quechua word. It means “Frost Susceptibility place” or “where the ice falls”. In Inca´s time, this palace was extended from the bank of the river Saphy to the palace Qora Qora.
  • Inca Roca Palace: “Inca Roca”, was the sixth Sapa Inca of the Empire of Cusco (beginning around CE 1350) and the first of the Hanan (“upper”) dynasty.
  • Alpaca Wool Explanation: One of our additional or extra activities. We’ll learn how to distinguish between different qualities of alpaca textiles and how to actually recognize clothes made of alpaca wool.
  • San Blas Neighborhood: It’s an area quite different from the rest of Cusco. It’s better known as the artisan’s quarter, it’s worth it to take the walking up.
  • Pisco Sour Tasting: This is an additional activity to finish this tour and is mainly used to give our final words and thanks.
