Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Qorikancha, Plazoleta de Santo Domingo, Cusco Peru
Built during the reign of the Inca Pachacutec to honor the Sun, the Tawantinsuyos' most important divinity, Qorikancha translates as "Court of Gold." Conquistadors' jaws must have dropped when they saw the gold-plated walls of the temple glinting in the sunlight.
Duration: 40 minutes
Stop At: Cusco Cathedral, Portal Belen Plaza de Armas, Cusco 08002 Peru
Dominating the Plaza de Armas, the monumental cathedral is one of Cusco's grandest buildings. Built in 1550 on the site of the palace of the Inca Wiracocha and using stones looted from the nearby Inca fortress of Sacsayhuamán, the cathedral is a perfect example of the imposition of the Catholic faith on the indigenous population.
Duration: 40 minutes
Stop At: Saqsaywaman, Cusco 08002, Peru
This immense ruin of both religious and military significance was built using megalithic limestone rocks, some of them weighing as much as 120 tons, The name itself can be translated as “speckled head” and some say that the city of Cusco was laid out in the shape of a puma, with Sacsayhuaman forming the head.
Duration: 50 minutes
Stop At: Q'enqo, Cusco Peru
It was one of the most important wak'as (holy places) in the Incan Cusco. Many wak'as were based on naturally occurring rock formations. It was believed to be a place where sacrifices and mummification took place.
Duration: 25 minutes
Stop At: Tambomachay, Cusco Peru
Tambomachay might have fulfilled an imortant religious function linked with water and the regeneration of the soil. It is calculated that it was built around 1500 a,C., in close relation to Puca Pucara.
Duration: 35 minutes
Pass By: Puka Pukara Archaeological Complex, 08000, Peru
Means in Quechua “red fortress”, and it took this name because of the colour of the stones used for its construction. It occupies a very strategic space over a natural mountain spur for facilitating observation and control over the valley of Cusco.

This tour was advertised as half-day but it didn't start until 2 and finish at 7 pm. The description of the tour didn't specify that the trip would be outside of Cusco city. The guide for the tour was very informative, but unfortunately I had to leave half-way through because my flight was at 8 pm. You also have to pay for your own tickets which are not included in the price. Once again Viator sub-contracted out another company who then sub-sub contracted out another. You can probably organize this tour on your own when you are in Cusco. There are plenty of local tour operators with probably a better price. The tour includes a visit to the main cathedral, the dominican church which was the main Inca temple in Cusco, and a visit to an Inca site outside of the city.
