Cusco was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and exploring it is a unique experience. The tour begins in the Plaza de Armas, surrounded by colonial mansions. You then move on to the Qoricancha, the most important temple of the Inca Empire, which the Dominicans later transformed into the Convent of Santo Domingo. Outside the historic center, you’ll reach the archaeological complexes. In Sacsayhuamán, you’ll admire gigantic walls that demonstrate the Inca’s skill. In Qenqo, you’ll explore an ancient ceremonial center. Finally, in Puca Pucara and Tambomachay, you’ll discover how these sites served military and religious functions.
