Excursion Overview
This half-day guided tour is a great way to orientate yourself in Cusco, ensuring you don’t miss the key attractions of the historic centre as well as showcasing the impressive Inca ruins nestling in the hills to the north of the city. You will begin the tour with a visit to Cusco’s huge Cathedral, constructed in the 17th century on the site of the original Inca Palace of Viracocha and where the highlights include a depiction of the Last Supper with the disciples dining on guinea pig. Continue on to Koricancha where excavation around the colonial Santo Domino church has revealed the remnants of the mighty Inca Temple of the Sun underneath, and you can even see an impressive Inca wall standing proudly outside. You will then depart the city centre to enjoy some impressive views from the surrounding hills, as well as guided tours of the ruins of Sacsayhuaman, Tambomachay, Puca Pucara and Qenqo. Even those with only a passing interest in history will find it difficult not to admire the impressive feats of Inca engineering on show here.

Brilliant bespoke planning and expert advice in scheduling our trip to South America, nothing was too much trouble, really refreshing to experience a sincere customer focused approach. We had a fabulous itinerary across Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Easter Island, holiday of a lifetime. They set a very high standard and I can't recommend them more highly.

We contacted HA to plan a family adventure through the Andes from Lima in Peru, through Bolivia and down to Santiago in Chile. Louise at HA was amazing and quickly understood exactly the type of trip we were after and organised it perfectly. Louise helped us plan an action-packed itinerary and once on the road it all went smoothly with excellent guides throughout, the organisation was faultless. It was an incredible experience for the whole family and we would definitely recommend HA. We won't hesitate to use HA for our next adventure - many thanks!
