Detailed Itinerary

09:00 – Hotel Pick-Up

Your adventure begins with an exclusive welcome. Our expert guide will punctually greet you at your hotel in Cusco.

09:15 – Qoricancha – Temple of the Sun

Our first visit takes us to the majestic Qoricancha, the most sacred temple of the Inca Empire, dedicated to the god Inti, the Sun. Its walls were once entirely covered in sheets of gold, reflecting the site’s immense importance in the Andean worldview. Today, it blends Inca architecture with the colonial structure of the Convent of Santo Domingo, creating a unique atmosphere where two worlds—the Inca and the Spanish—overlap. Here, you’ll explore its corridors and halls, discovering fascinating stories about rituals, astronomy, and the spiritual power that was concentrated within these walls.

09:50 – Calle Siete Borreguitos (Seven Little Lambs Street)

We continue to one of Cusco’s most picturesque and charming streets: Calle Siete Borreguitos. This short stroll allows you to soak in the essence of traditional Cusco, with its colonial balconies, colorful flowerpots, and the bohemian atmosphere that characterizes this neighborhood. It’s the perfect place to capture photos full of charm and authenticity.

10:10 – Tambomachay

Leaving the historic center, we head toward the outskirts of the city to visit Tambomachay, known as the “Bath of the Inca.” This small yet impressive archaeological site is associated with water worship and purification rituals. Here, you’ll hear the crystal-clear sounds of its aqueducts and channels, which still function after centuries, and marvel at the precision of Inca hydraulic engineering.

10:30 – Puca Pucara

Just a few minutes from Tambomachay, we find Puca Pucara, the “Red Fortress.” It’s named for the reddish hue its stones take on at sunset. This archaeological site served military purposes and controlled routes leading to the Sacred Valley and the city of Cusco. From here, you’ll enjoy panoramic views that help you appreciate the scale of the Inca Empire and its defensive strategy.

10:50 – Sulca Textiles Museum

On our way back to the city, we make a stop at the exclusive Sulca Textiles Museum, where you’ll discover the Andean textile legacy. You’ll enjoy a private demonstration of ancient weaving techniques using fine fibers such as alpaca and vicuña. Additionally, you’ll admire a collection of high-end garments that result from a fusion of tradition and contemporary design.

11:20 – Sacsayhuamán

Our tour continues to one of the most impressive monuments of Inca architecture: Sacsayhuamán. Its enormous walls, built from perfectly interlocking stones—some weighing up to 120 tons—defy time and our understanding of how they were constructed. Here, you’ll learn about significant battles, ceremonies like Inti Raymi, and enjoy a privileged panoramic view over the entire city of Cusco.

12:00 – Gourmet Lunch

We conclude this luxury experience with lunch at an exclusive restaurant in Cusco. You’ll savor a fusion of Andean flavors with international techniques, in an elegant and cozy setting that celebrates the rich culinary heritage of Peru.

City Tour Tips

Before the Tour
  • Acclimatize first: Cusco is located over 3,300 meters (10,800 feet) above sea level. If you’ve just arrived, we recommend resting for at least 24 hours before starting the tour.
  • Avoid heavy meals before the tour to ease digestion at high altitude.
  • Charge your devices (phone, camera), as you’ll find many opportunities to capture breathtaking landscapes and unique moments.
During the Tour
  • Stay hydrated constantly, even if you’re not thirsty. The altitude can dehydrate you quickly.
  • Walk at a relaxed pace, especially in archaeological sites with stairs or uneven terrain. Our tour is designed to keep you from getting exhausted.
  • Follow the guide’s instructions, especially in sacred or restricted-access areas. Some sites require special respect due to their spiritual value.
  • Always carry a light jacket or layer, as Cusco afternoons can cool down quickly.
Recommended Extras
  • Buy directly from local artisans, especially around Qenqo or Plaza Regocijo. It’s an ethical and direct way to support the communities.
  • Ask the guide about local legends or spiritual meanings. Many Inca sites are surrounded by fascinating stories not found in books.
About the Exclusive Lunch
  • If you choose the Lunch experience, request a panoramic-view table in advance – perfect for an unforgettable evening.
  • Vegan or gluten-free gourmet options are available upon request – just let us know your preferences when booking.
GMAX Tip

Ask your guide to show you the exact spot where you can take the classic panoramic photo with all of Cusco city in the background from Sacsayhuamán. It’s a postcard-worthy shot fit for a magazine cover.
