Then, you will walk to Qoricancha, or the Temple of the Sun. The visit lasts about an hour, during which you will learn about Andean symbolism, the connection with the stars, and their importance in the Inca calendar.
We will visit the Sacsayhuamán Archaeological Park, where you can admire the massive stone walls inspired by the god of Lightning, as well as impressive examples of the Inca Empire's remarkable hydraulic engineering.
Then, you will be taken to Qenqo, where you can admire the most important ceremonial huaca in the city.
We will visit Tambomachay, where you can observe beautiful ceremonial fountains that have been functioning perfectly since the Inca era.

About Cusco
Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.
The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
