The Cusco City Tour – 4 Ruins is a tourist transportation service ideal for those who wish to explore the main archaeological sites located around the city of Cusco, with ample time for free time.

We continue to Qenqo, a ceremonial center carved into the rock, where visitors can explore its passageways, altars, and ritual spaces, used in religious ceremonies during the Inca era.

Afterward, the transportation will take us to Puka Pukara, an ancient fortress used for military and administrative purposes, which served as a control and surveillance point for the Inca roads. From this location, you can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding natural landscape.
