We star with the sites included in the City Tour, such as The Cathedral and the Koricancha. You can buy the entrance tickets directly at each site, the cost is S/.25.00 and S/.10.00 respectively, then visit each place by yourselves and marvel at what they have to offer.
To see the Historic Centre of the city, it is enough to simply wander around on foot, surrounded by a mixture of Andean and Colonial style constructions, buildings built upon Inca walls, where some ancient customs are still in practise today. Among the principal attractions are: The Plaza de Armas (main square), the area of San Blas and its church, Hatunrumiyoq street where you will find the 12 angled stone, among others.
Sacsayhuamán archeological park, also includes the archaeological monuments of Qenqo, Tambomachay and Puca-Pucara. If you have the time and fitness you can get here on foot, otherwise we recommend using a travel agency which can offer you return transport and a guided tour of this marvellous archaeological site.
The Sacred Valley of the Incas
As with many other site, you can use public transport to get here. Starting with Pisac where you can visit the ruins and the local and handicrafts market, to continue your route youn will need to take another transport that can take you directly to Ollantaytambo, or make a stop in Urubamba to have lunch and then continue to Ollantaytambo to visit the Inca fortress.
Otherwise, you could use a travel agency to provide you with return transport and guided tours and that way enjoy visiting these sites without worrying about the time , nor where to have lunch, nor the availability of transport.
In Ollantaytambo you can take the opportunity to stay in this beautiful Inca village and spend the night here, choosing from a wide variety of accommodation, or take the train that same night to Machu Picchu and spend the night in Aguas Calientes. Alternatively, if you don´t choose either of these options, you can return to Cusco with your tour or by public transport.
To visit these sites you will need to buy the “boleto turístico” (tourist ticket) which costs S/.130.00 for adult foreigners and includes entry to tne following attractions:

His energy and his knowledge really helped us get the most out of the experience. We really recommend going with Yonel to Macchu Picchu as he is the best guide we experienced in Cusco.
Delfina A2023-11-06Short Inca Trail & Machu Picchu We did the 1D short Inca Trail and the day after visit to Machu Picchu ruins. The experience was challenging as we are not regular hikers but we were lucky to have Jesús as guide, who helped us to find motivation and arrive to the end, also taking beautiful pictures of us being a professional photographer. Jesús is also a passionate story teller whom made our visit to Machu Picchu unforgettable by explaining us all the history of Machu Picchu.
