Itinerary

We will start by meeting at the KB Adventures office located at Portal Espinar N° 163. From there, we will stroll through the streets of the Incas, starting from Plaza de Armas and heading to Qoricancha (Temple of the Sun). Here, you will witness the blending of Incan construction techniques and Catholic influences. Inside Qoricancha, you will explore four enclosures dedicated to different deities: the sun, moon, stars, and lightning.

Next, we will take transportation to the majestic archaeological site of Sacsayhuaman for a guided tour. From Sacsayhuaman, we will continue to Qenqo, an archaeological site that offers stunning views of Cusco. Our journey will then take us to the Inca ruins of Puca Pucara, a small fortress, and finally to Tambomachay, a temple dedicated to water, known for its impressive Inca aqueducts. We will then return to Plaza de Armas in Cusco, where the tour will conclude.

FAQs

How can I prepare for the hike and prevent altitude sickness?

The best way to prepare yourself for this trekking experiencee is easy: spend at least 2 to 3 days at a high-altitude place like Cusco, so your body gets used to the high altitude. If you have already been to a high altitude destination before arriving to Cusco, we still recommend you spend at least one full day in Cusco to rest, recuperate from your trip, and enjoy the beautiful views of the city before your trek.

Additionally, taking good care of your body helps deal with the extra pressures that altitude creates. We recommend you to eat healthy food, drink lots of water and stay away from alcohol. Chewing coca leaves, drinking coca tea helps to alleviate any discomfort associated with the altitude.
