Our day begins around 7:00 a.m., when we pick you up from your hotel and head to the Temple of the Moon, located near Sacsayhuamán, just 30 minutes from Cusco’s historic center. This sacred place is ideal for connecting with the energies of the universe. Here, we will perform an ancestral retreat from Q’ero and share a conversation about the spiritual path, setting intentions for the journey ahead. After the ceremony, we return to Cusco for lunch.

At 1:00 p.m., we begin our city tour. Our first stop is Qoricancha, the Inca temple dedicated to the Sun. We then continue to Sacsayhuamán, known as the “House of the Sun” during the Inca era, famous for its monumental stone walls. Next, we visit Qenqo—meaning “labyrinth” in Quechua—and Puka Pukara, the red fortress. We conclude at Tambomachay, the temple of water.

The tour ends in the Main Square around 6:30 p.m.
