Cusco is truly a fascinating place to visit; with a mixture of the two cultures (Inca and Spanish), the city has an appearance that is completely different from the rest of Peru. This tour is a must when visiting Cusco and is usually one of the first ports of call for all visiting tourists.

The Cathedral, also known as the Basilica Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin, is the main temple in the city of Cusco. The tour begins as you enter the cathedral through the Church of the Holy Family, and makes your way through the entire cathedral, including the adjacent Church of the Triumph. The tour continues with a visit to the most important religious site of the Incas, the Qorikancha. The Temple of the Sun was the center of all Inca religion in the complex, which made Cusco the Holy City of the Incas. Today it is still possible to observe the advanced engineering and architectural techniques developed and used by the Incas. Then take the bus to go to the upper part of the city to visit

This Inca archaeological site is known as the "Ceremonial Temple of Sacsayhuaman".
