Day 5: Cusco
Breakfast at the hotel
Day at leisure to enjoy the city of Cusco
Optional:
Walking tour of Cusco in a shared service:
✓ San Blas neighborhood: One of the most traditional neighborhoods of Cusco, known as the
artisans' neighborhood. In its narrow, cobbled streets are the most emblematic workshops of the
city's craftsmanship. Located above the Plaza de Armas, it offers one of the most beautiful views
of Cusco.
✓ Plaza de Armas: The central place of the city that houses two churches and is one of the most
beautiful colonial squares in Peru. Also the Cathedral (exterior visit), the ancient heart of the
capital of the Inca Empire. It was built with stones from the Inca site of Sacsayhuamán over nearly
a century starting in 1560.
✓ San Pedro Market: A quick visit to one of the markets most frequented by the Cusqueños, where
we can appreciate different products and crafts.
✓ Coricancha or Temple of the Sun (outside visit): Built by Emperor Pachacútec, this temple was
used by the Incas to worship their main gods: Viracocha, the supreme god; Inti, the sun god; Quilla,
the moon; Chaska, the stars; Illapa, thunder and lightning; K'uychi, the rainbow.
Excursion to the Rainbow Mountain "Palccoyo" in a shared service:
Early morning departure to Palccoyo, the Rainbow Mountain. Palccoyo is a set of three colorful mountains
located about 3 hours southeast of Cusco, in the community of Palccoyo, Checacupe district. In addition
to the rainbow range (the three colorful mountains) that offer a magnificent natural spectacle, from the
top of Palccoyo you get a fantastic view of Ausangate, one of the highest mountains in Peru. There is also
a stone forest around the site that gives the landscape a unique look. Along the way, you can see alpacas,
vicuñas, and community inhabitants. The mountain is colored due to the minerals present in the soil:
copper oxide, sandstone, red clay. It is estimated that these are sediments left by the water that covered
the region millions of years ago. Lunch on the way and return to Cusco. (Breakfast and lunch are included
in this excursion)
