About the tour

An easy afternoon for your first or second day: the Sun Temple and the four Inca sites above the city. From US$15.

The best first tour in Cusco: little effort, plenty of context and a good way to acclimatise before the high-altitude trips. From 1:00 to 6:00 pm.

What you'll see

  • Qorikancha · The Sun Temple, with Inca walls beneath the Santo Domingo convent.
  • Sacsayhuaman · Walls of huge stones fitted without mortar, overlooking the whole city.
  • Qenqo · A shrine carved into the rock, with passages and an altar.
  • Puka Pukara · A checkpoint on the old Inca road.
  • Tambomachay · Inca water fountains that still run.

Good to know

  • The four sites outside the city require the Cusco Tourist Ticket; Qorikancha has its own entrance fee.
  • Bring a jacket: the temperature drops quickly in the late afternoon.

Highlights

  • Qorikancha, the Sun Temple
  • Sacsayhuaman and city views
  • Ideal for acclimatising
  • Afternoon only
