What you'll do on day 3
- Breakfast at the hotel.
- Transfer to the airport for your flight to Cusco (flight tickets not included in the tour price).
- Upon arrival, meet at the airport and transfer to the hotel for acclimatization and rest. Cusco is located at an altitude of about 3400 meters.
- In the second half of the day, you will visit the Sacsayhuaman Archaeological Park with a guide and begin an individual tour with a visit to the eponymous fortress - a remarkable place imbued with peace and tranquility. Here you will see stone blocks of enormous size, some reaching up to 4 meters in height. Then, you will visit Kenko, the ancient temple of the Puma, where you will see the sacrificial altar - a huge cold stone hidden from prying eyes at the bottom of the complex. Next, you will visit Tambomachay - the sacred fountains of life and health. Along the way, you will encounter another complex called Puka Pukara, a watchtower that served as a kind of checkpoint for checking everyone entering the city during Inca times. After that, you will return to Cusco to visit the Temple of the Sun Coricancha, on the foundation of which now stands the Santo Domingo Monastery. According to legend, the entire temple was once covered with gold plates that undoubtedly captivated conquerors with their beauty when they arrived in this land. Tickets to the archaeological park (4 ruins) and the Coricancha temple are included.
