Day 1

Arrival in Cusco. Meet and transfer to your hotel. Morning at leisure.

CUSCO WALKING TOUR

Our half day walking tour will take you to Inca Museum that contains artifacts that trace Peruvian history from pre-Inca civilizations. The building was once the palace of Admiral Francisco Aldrete Maldonado, hence its common designation as the Palacio del Almirante (Admiral's Palace). The palace itself is one of Cusco's finest colonial mansions and was built on top of an Inca palace at the beginning of the 17th century. You will also visit the Pre – Columbian Art Museum, which takes a different approach from traditional display, selecting artifacts based not just on historical, but aesthetic merit. This museum make up one of the most tasteful and beautiful visiting experiences to be found in Cusco. Stop for a visit of the Plaza de Armas (Main Square) and then the visit of the Koricancha or Temple of the Sun, a classic example of the fusion of Inca and Western cultures, as its finely polished walls made of stone were used as the foundations of the Convent of Santo Domingo. Overnight in Cusco.
