Este Tour comenzará por mañana, donde su guía local de Cusco lo recogerá del hotel para embarcarse en una excursión mágica sobe todo cultural a algunos de los lugares más destacados de Cusco. El recorrido comienza a las 08:00 am. Salida del centro de la ciudad en camioneta privada magnífica fortaleza inca de Sacsayhuaman, que domina majestuosamente la ciudad de Cusco.
Sacsayhuaman se puede traducir como ‘halcón moteado’ o ‘cabeza moteada’. La última interpretación se refiere a la creencia de que la ciudad del Cusco se planteó en forma de puma cuya cabeza era el cerro de Sacsayhuaman. Los orígenes son inciertos, pero la fortaleza generalmente se atribuye al período del Inca Pachacuty (1450-1490), el rey Inca que esencialmente fundó el Imperio Inca.
Después de Sacsayhuaman, su camioneta lo estará esperando para continuar con visitas a Q’enko, Puca Pucara y Tambomachay ubicadas tambien a las afueras de la ciudad.
Antes de regresar a Cusco para una parada en el ‘Qoricancha’ o Templo Inca del Sol ubicado debajo de la iglesia y convento de Santo Domingo.
Completaremos la excursión con una visita al mercado local, donde dentro del edificio principal se encuentra el mercado de abastos con frutas y verduras frescas, carnes de alpaca, cuy, lechones enteros, pescados y mariscos, abarrotes de todo tipo y pequeños puestos de comida donde ‘Mamá o Jefe ‘cocina un menú sencillo, pero fresco y delicioso por pocos soles.
Finalmente, la catedral de Cusco, una iglesia colonial muy impresionante construida en el siglo XVI por los españoles con presencial de las famosas pinturas de escuela cusqueña de los siglo XVI,XVII y XVIII respectivamente, para después retornar a su hotel.

We were recommended this company by our neighbor. Ruben/Juan was great with questions and provided a lot of valuable information as I was planning parts on my own instead using a set tour, partially due to wanting to climb one of the optional peaks which you need to book months in advance. We then hit a snag with my wife’s passport and Ruben happily rearranged the tour for us even though we gave last minute notice.
Our tour guide Wagner met us where the bus dropped us of (can be arranged to pick up from your hotel as well), and we spent the next two hours learning a lot about the history of the site and he took us away from the crowds, and accommodated our photos requests. After we hung around and explored on our own until it was time to leave….

FANTASTIC!!! From start to finish! Amazing Andean Adventures was in charge for our entire 8 day trip to Peru. Every detail and pick up was perfect. Every driver and guide was great! Thank you Kivin and Joaquin for finding my camera!
There was one special guide that we will never forget. Dany met us at our hotel in Agnes Calientes and was very patient as our train was late arriving. His knowledge of the history and culture of the Incans made the tour of Machu Picchu come alive! We were fortunate to have Dany for two days, always upbeat, helpful, fun, and competent. The Cusco City Tour was also amazing with the continuing history making us feel like we were actually there in the time of the Inca rule. Magical…

We traveled to Cusco this December with a three day private tour planned with Danny. My mom had done a similar tour with Danny and recommended him/amazing andean adventures to us! Our three day adventure was pretty much perfect; danny was always early to meet us, super friendly, with great english and tons of knowledge to share about the ruins and inca historical sites we visited. He even made the rain clear up so we could get a perfect view of machu picchu after our hike. On day one we went from our hotel to various destinations in sacred valley, which I worked with the company to plan so that we would hit all the spots I wanted to. They were helpful and accommodating in building a highly individualized itinerary…
