Cusco
city tour
This
tour is a great introduction to Cusco and its nearby ruins.
It runs in the afternoon and visits the Koricancha (Sun Temple),
the Cathedral, Sacsaywaman fortress which is simply amazing,
and then the three smaller Inca ruins nearby. Private, comfortable
transport and an English-speaking guide are provided. Entrance
fees are not included. Cusco has a system of tourist tickets
and in some cases individual entrance fees that can be bought
at the time of the visit. Which ticket you need will vary according
to where you want to go but if you do absolutely everything
in Cusco and the Sacred Valley you will need to budget for around
25.00 USD for entrance fees.
