DAY 4 CUSCO

Breakfast. After breakfast you will explore the city with our City Tour and you willl visit four ruins in Cusco. Half day.

A warren of narrow streets lined by impressive Inca stone walls, Cuzco has a unique atmosphere, redolent of ancient days. This afternoon enjoy a half-day tour of the city, including the Cathedral on the Plaza de Armas and the Koricancha complex. You will also visit the impressive fortress of Sacsayhuaman; the amphitheatre and religious site of Kenko; and the Inca baths and water temple of Tambomachay and its red fortress, Puca-Pucara.

Cathedral of Cuzco: It was built between 1560 and 1664 out of large slabs of red granite taken from the Inca construction of Sacsayhuaman. It houses important collections of gold and silver work of the colonial period, elaborately engraved wooden altars and a beautiful collection of oil on canvas paintings from the Escuela Cusqueña.

Koricancha and the Convent of Santo Domingo.- The convent was built on the spectacular Coricancha ‘site of gold’. This was the most important temple dedicated to the worship of the Sun and whose walls were lined with solid sheets of gold. All that remains now is the fine stonework, the conquistadors took the rest. Coricancha was also an observatory, where priests kept track of major celestial events. Today it houses an impressive collection of canvas paintings from the Escuela Cusqueña.

Sacsayhuaman: (which means ‘satisfied falcon’) it is one of the most impressive sites built by the Incas. It is generally referred to as a fortress; however it is not certain what its main function was. Current research suggests that it was more likely to be used as a temple, as Inca tombs have been discovered in the area. The site is a marvelous archaeological feat, even now after it was destroyed; one can only imagine its greatness when it stood in full glory. The stones in the wall are incredible and the largest weighs in at over 300 tonnes.

The Incas envisioned Cusco as having a puma shape – Sacsayhuaman was the head. The magnificent zigzag walls are the major attraction. The grounds surrounding Sacsayhuaman are still used today for the colorful festival of Inti Raymi which is held on the 24th June every year.

Q’enqo: (meaning ‘zigzag’ or ‘labyrinth’) it contains the most impressive carved rocks in the Cusco area. There are carvings everywhere, although some are a little indistinct: a llama, a condor and snakes have been identified. There are many zigzag channels on top of the rock, probably used for pouring sacrificial chicha (a local wine made from maize). Inside the rock there are a number of caves and passageways and an alter which was used for the sacrifices of llamas.

Puca Pucara: ‘the red fortress’. This is a small site and although the name suggests that it was a fortress, it does not appear to have any defensive purpose.

DAY 5 CUSCO

Breakfast. Transfer to airport.
