We will begin our tour by meeting the group in the Plaza de Armas (Main Square) to discuss the tour itinerary. Then we will walk two blocks to the corner of Saphy and Tambo de Montero streets, where our bus will be waiting to begin our wonderful tour and an unforgettable experience.

The tour continues along Avenida El Sol, the most important avenue in the city center. Next, we will ascend to the Sacsayhuamán Archaeological Reserve. We will resume the tour, traveling through the archaeological reserve towards the Puca Pucara Archaeological Park, the highest point of our tour. There, we will make a brief stop for photos from the bus and for our guide to provide information. Afterwards, we will head to the community of Huayllarcocha, where we will participate in a coca leaf ritual (15-20 minutes) with an Andean priest (Pampamesayoc).
On the return journey, we will pass by the Qenqo Archaeological Park and then go to the Cristo Blanco viewpoint, where you can appreciate the city of Cusco in all its splendor and enjoy panoramic views. Finally, we will visit a factory for an exhibition showcasing the different qualities of alpaca and vicuña wool, where they will demonstrate the crafts made from these materials (10-15 minutes). This will allow you to experience the true quality of alpaca fiber, considered one of the finest wools in the world, and vicuña, considered the best animal fiber globally. At the end of the tour, the bus will drop passengers off on Saphy Street, two blocks from the Plaza de Armas.
