Itinerary
.You will visit the well-known and beautiful temple of Sacsayhuaman, which continues to be a very important religious and ceremonial site for the Incan culture. You will be amazed by the ingenious architectural achievements of the Incan civilization and impressed when imagining the feat of moving and fitting each uniquely shaped stone, weighing some 70 tons, so perfectly together, without mortar that not a blade of grass could pass between them.
Plaza de Armas is one of the main tourist attractions of the city of Cusco. Here are several religious temples (the cathedral, the Church of the Society of Jesus and, the Chapel of Triumph), accompanied by beautiful portals with colonial arches.

<p>Flight delay meant we missed tour. Did our own unguided tour. Not fault of tour company.</p>
<p>5 star experience. My mother and I were lucky enough to get Joanna as our personal guide. She was absolutely fantastic and showed us all the interesting sites, showed us through the markets where I was able to obtain a freshly squeezed juice with her help and the Archaeological Sites we visited were completely fascinating! The very 1st Cathedral we were shown stunned us both, and we couldn't help compare it with the others we were shown throughout our whole South American Tour we completed, but nothing stunned us like that one. Joanna was a very knowledgeable and professional guide and her grasp of English was perfect. Definitely a highlight this tour!</p>
<p>The archaeological Sites outside of Cusco City made the whole tour exceptional. The market was also interesting.</p>
