Sight Qoricancha

Loop hike from Cusco passing through some of the archaeological sites of greatest interest: first the Temple of the Moon, Puca Pucara, Tambomachay and return to Cusco stopping at the incredible ruins of Saqsayhuamán. A very complete experience on the roads of the Cusco valley. Not recommended if it's foggy, as the trail after Tambomachay is not marked at all. Bring rain gear, sunscreen, and a jacket. Weather conditions vary very fast at almost 4,000 m.

Inqilltambo is an Inca ruin in the vicinity of Cusco which was created by the Inca Wiracocha and later developed by his son the Inca Pachakuteq. It is accessible on foot from the center of Cuzco and returns on foot via the Temple of the Moon and the San Blas district. The ruin presents terraces, galleries and anthropomorphological figures in high relief. The walk starts in the town then climbs and crosses the fields and the eucalyptus forest.

This tour departing from the Plaza de Armas in Cusco will allow you to climb to the Cristo Blanco viewpoint and enjoy an incredible view of the city of Cusco. On the way back, you will descend through the picturesque alleys to the bohemian district of San Blas and possibly visit the small church steeped in history. Note that not far from the Cristo Blanco there is also the ruin of Saqsaywaman which can also be visited.

Cristo Blanco is a statue of Jesus Christ with outstretched arms that stands on the hills of the city of Cusco and measures about 8 meters (26 feet). The walk starts from the Plaza de Armas, with a gradual incline through the city and paved most of the way. The entrance to the area has shops and the entrance is free. You can easily add it to your short visits in the area or even to the visit to the ruins of Sacsayhuamán. The difficulty is mainly due to the altitude.

This excellent trek goes along an Inca Trail visiting several sites, among which the Temple of the Moon, Q'enqo, Qapaq Ñam, Inkilltambo, Kallachaka and Rumi Wasi stand out. A very complete journey with beautiful landscapes and interesting archaeological sites. To return, some tourism services locate private transport in Rumi Wasi, if not, you must return via public transport extending the walk 1.2 km to Av Collasuyo and 1.5 km to Av de la Cultura to take transport.
