Machu Picchu y Amazonía 7 días / 6 noches

Your adventure begins as soon as you land in Cusco. Our friendly representative will be waiting for you at the airport, holding a sign with our logo and your name, then we will take you to your hotel.

We will start the tour from Plaza de Armas, the heart of the city surrounded by historic landmarks like the Cathedral and the Church of the Society of Jesus. After exploring the square, embark on a walking tour through Cusco’s top attractions, including the 12-angled Stone, San Blas, and Loreto Street, immersing yourself in the city’s rich history and culture.

Next, visit Coricancha, the Temple of the Sun, once the Inca Empire’s most important temple, adorned with gold and precious stones. The Spanish later built the Church of Santo Domingo atop its foundations, blending Inca and Colonial architecture. The second half of the tour takes you to the impressive Inca sites surrounding Cusco. Start with Sacsayhuaman, a colossal fortress of precisely fitted stones, followed by Qenqo’s mysterious underground chambers, Puka Pukara’s military fortress, and Tambomachay’s intricate water features. Conclude your journey at Cristo Blanco.
