Afterward, you will visit Sacsayhuaman, famous for its massive stone walls and panoramic views of Cusco. The tour continues to Qenqo, Puka Pukara, and Tambomachay, important archaeological sites related to Inca ceremonies, military control, and water worship.

At the end of the tour, you will return to Cusco. The evening is free to enjoy dinner on your own.
