The Cathedral and the Sun Temple QORICANCHA (in these places will have a guided 30 minutes approx.).

These visiting them by an average of 15 min each) Tambomachay, Kenko, Pucapucara, and then finally visit Sacsayhuaman (which when wider than the other archaeological sites visited for about 30 minutes).

The Cathedral of Cusco: We start the tour by visiting the Cathedral of Cusco, the Sagrada Familia church, and the church of Triumph
Temple of Qoricancha: Then we visit the temple of Qoricancha, the ultimate expression of Inca architecture and engineering. Temple of the Sun or Qoricancha, is also currently the Convent of Santo Domingo.
Sacsayhuaman: The impressive fortress of Sacsayhuaman is strategically built on a hill from where all Cusco is appreciated. It is famous for its enormous carved stones, some of which are 9 meters or 30 feet tall and weigh over 350 tons.
Qenqo: Located four kilometers northeast of the city of Cusco, has archaeological groups Q’enqo Grande Q’enqo Chico. Etimológicamente means labyrinth or zigzag, fulfilled a purely religious function, being on the outside of an amphitheater semicircular with trapezoidal niches and a monolith that simulates a puma which is about six meters.
Puka Pukara: Puka Pukara means “red fortress” because the calcareous stones that are built have acquired a reddish coloration, very rich in iron. It is argued that had the function of protecting Tambomachay, an important palace in the Inkario. But in turn, for its architectural layout and the existence of fountains, aqueducts, and multiple enclosures, it was a “Tambo” ie a collective lodge offering inn and food to travelers, like the delegation that was to accompany the Inka in his retirement in Tambomachay.
Tambomachay: Tambomachay is located about 8 km. north of Cusco and close to the ruins of Puka Pucara, is an archaeological site that was intended for the worship of water and the head of the Inca empire could rest. This place is also known as Inca Baths. It consists of a series of aqueducts, canals, and several waterfalls that run through the rocks. The amazing thing about this is that the main waterfall, the Incas created 2 secondary waterfalls, which are exactly alike. That is, if one places two empty bottles, one in each cascade, 2 are filled simultaneously.

8:20 Pick up from your hotel and then go to Pisac the market is 30 km from the city of Cusco, the main square of Pisac hosts this market, a colorful and happy place, where the most famous cusqueñas exhibiting handicrafts made by Andean hands, between the crafts, protruding textile pieces, ponchos, bags, etc., and ceramic crafts, which are reproductions of Inca pieces archaeology as queros (ceremonial vessels), necklaces, etc. To this fair traders and indigenous artisans of many people, dressed in their traditional costumes.

Pisaq ending the tour we head to the town of Urubamba having an obligatory stop at a restaurant and a buffet lunch will be provided for the entire group (approximately one-hour lunchtime).

Then we go to the Ollantaytambo Fortress which was built to guard the entrance to this part of the valley and protect it from possible invasion visiting him for 40 minutes about and get a clear idea of what this strategic military, religious and cultural center during the Inca Empire.

Back to Cusco visit the town of Chinchero, where there are remains of the royal hacienda of Tupac Inca Yupanqui, visiting its beautiful Colonial Temple and whose base can admire walls of Inca constructions, for after visiting some processing centers tissue back our Cusco around 18:30 (transportation usually leaves in the center of the city).

8:20 pm Again I gather from your accommodation to visit the following places:

Maras: Located west of Cusco at 3,300 meters above sea level from there the mountain range of Urubamba and the snowy peaks of “Veronica” (5682 m) is appreciated and the “Chicon” (5530 m) Its important occupation began when the nobles cusqueños the Inkario they were stripped of their palaces in Qosqo and had to leave to settle in other small towns like Maras. Possesses a church manufactured in adobes, typical of small-town religious architecture, the church interior paintings from the Cuzco School are saved.

Moray: One is about 7 km southwest of Maras; is a unique archaeological group of its kind in the region. It is natural depressions or gigantic holes in the ground surface that were used to construct the contours of farming terraces with irrigation canals, is, therefore, a prototype greenhouse or fairly advanced biological experimental station for a time that helped the American man of antiquity mankind inherit 60% of plant products consumed, the Andean man consumes a thousand and a half of various varieties of potatoes, one hundred and fifty of corn, and many other products.

Salineras: o “Salt Mine”: Located northwest of the town of Maras are constituted of about 4000 small wells with an average area of about 5 m², during the dry season are filled or “water” every 3 days with salt water comes from a natural spring located at the top of the wells so that the water evaporates, the salt contained therein is solidified gradually, then the salt is struck and thus granulated; Salt is then bagged in plastic bags and sent to markets in the region; today that salt is being the iodized reason why its consumption is not harmful. Finally, we will return to Cusco at 2:30 pm approximately.

Duration: approximately 6 hours.

Around 09:45 am Our shuttle will pick you up to go to the Ollantaytambo train station which is 1 hour and 45 minutes from the city of Cusco there take the train service at 12:55 Expedition towards the town of Aguas Hot which lasts on average 1 hour and 40 minutes later when arriving at Aguas Calientes station staff of the company will wait with their names and head to the hotel already booked. an afternoon where you will have the opportunity to go to the hot springs of this small village or you can also consider the option of visiting the Museum of Machu Picchu which has a collection of 250 original objects including stones, metals, ceramics, bones, and others; One result of archaeological research in recent decades in the Incan city of Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail.

Awakened and breakfast at their respective hotel (one night before the guide will give detailed information on the service to be carried out) we will go to the bus station, trying to take one of the first buses heading toward the citadel of Machu Picchu taking a 30 min.
