With this program you will have the opportunity to discover the famous annual Festival of the Sun " Inti Raymi" held on June 24th. We also give you an overnight in Machu Picchu village to appreciate the sunrise over Machu Picchu Inca City.
Cusco holds many different festivals full of artistic expressions. It is important for the Cusquenian to nourish themselves from their profound origin, projecting an alliance with nature and the mother earth or Pachamama through their festivities full of rhythms and colors. A way for them to reinforce their commitment to life, extending it with their hospitality to the visitors.
Cusco bieng the capital of Tahuantinsuyo, the Inka´s Country, the center of the Empire of the four regions and the "navel of the Inka world." One of the most outstanding Empire in the history of humanity. The Incas ,within less than one hundred years, expended their territory from its northern borders of Quito, in Ecuador, to the far south of Santiago, Chili and as far as Argentina. Cusco is one of the most incredible city in America.
We will pick you up from the airport or the bus station to then take you to your hotel. The city tour begins at 14:00 p.m. and will include attractions.
It was the Main Temple of the Incas, where devotees worshiped the Sun God. In that time, the engineers used gold to cover the walls. In the main terraces existed statues of animal, in their natural size, also covered with gold. It served as well as the residence of the many wives of the Inca Kings or rulers. Embalmed mommies of the Kings were kept inside and for some looked almost alive.
The city of Cusco was in the form of a Puma which was exactly like Saqsayhuaman. Situated about 3 km from Cusco, it is an impressive Temple monument with magnificent stone architecture. It is also known as the Casa del Sol, which holds every year, on June 24th, the ancestral ritual of Inti Raymi.
Known as the Temple of Pachamama or Mother Earth, it was used as a ceremonial center for rituals. The amphitheater was used to make sacrifices in black flames. During the winter solstice, on June 21st, the sun illuminates the well-polished bricks revealing a shadow in the form of a Puma. From this natural phenomenon, known as "The Awakening of the Puma", was born the great Incas festival of Inti Raymi.
This was the Fortaleza of the Incas. There was always surveillance through out the Empire and along the Inca roads. Considered also as a controlled entry and exit of all those traveling to or from the holy city of Cusco.
The famous Royal baths, situated at 7 km. from Cusco, it was used as a ceremonial center to worship the element of water. It is also believed to be a resting place for the Inka. At 6:30 p.m. we will return to Cusco, you can then decide to either be left in the beautiful main square, the Plaza del Armas or be taken back to your hotel.
Day 2 | FestivalP'isaq is one of the most important archaeological sites. Its name comes, probably, from a very common type of bird in this area known as "p'isaqa". Today, it is a colonial town named P'isaq. It holds a famous local market, full of crafts and local products.
The archaeological complex of Ollantaytambo was a strategic military, religious, and agricultural center. The architectural scene is exceptional, not only for its.
Size and style, but also for the uniqueness of its buildings. Ollanta comes from the Quechua language (which is the name of an Inca captain whose story was saved as an oral tradition and written as a drama by Antonio Valdez Urubamba priest in the mid-eighteenth century). Also from a Spanish derivation of the word tampu (tambo in Quechua), meaning "city that offers accommodation, food, and comfort to passengers.

Percy was a fantastic guide, and the whole hike to Choquequirao was magical. The route was very varied and Percy timed everything perfectly so that we had the best hiking and time to explore the site when we got there. We will be back again!

Our hike to Choquequirao was a beautiful experience. Our guide Percy was well informed, kind and very knowledgable. We felt well looked after the entire time (the cups of tea delivered to our tents in the morning were a particular highlight). Even after four days I wasn’t ready to leave.

We initially tried booking with one of the more popular companies, but they were fully booked. So, we decided to give this smaller company a try—and it turned out to be the best decision! Smaller groups made the experience more intimate, and the guides were incredibly attentive. Here are some examples of why it was a great experience: Percy and Iza, our tour guides, went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and cared for. They paid close attention to our needs, making the entire journey enjoyable and safe. On top of that, the cooks provided by the company were outstanding—creative, skilled, and very considerate. I have a gluten intolerance, and I felt very special because they would make an effort to prepare separate dishes for me. It made me feel truly valued. Despite not exercising much before the Salkantay trek, I was able to complete it thanks to Percy and Iza’s support. They motivated me every step of the way, and I felt safe and cared for throughout. I’m so grateful for their kindness, humor, history about the trek and professionalism. When we go back to Cusco we’re definitely wanting to book here and have Iza/Percy as our guides… if we can . Thanks for making our trip so memorable
