The city tour of Cusco was mesmerizing, taking us through the historic Plaza de Armas, the grand Cathedral, and the Koricancha Temple. The mystical ruins of Qenqo, Puka Pucara, Tambomachay, and the majestic Sacsayhuaman fortress showcased the engineering marvels of the Inca civilization. The evening concluded with a vibrant show of traditional music and dance at the Qosqo Native Art Center, which was an enchanting experience.

The journey to Machu Picchu on the second day was the highlight of our trip. The scenic train ride to Aguas Calientes set the stage for an awe-inspiring visit to the “Lost City of the Incas.” Our guided tour revealed the secrets of this ancient citadel, leaving us in awe of its grandeur. The Sacred Valley tour on the third day was equally captivating, with visits to Pisac, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo, and Chinchero, each offering unique glimpses into the Inca heritage.
