🏯 The Colossal Sacsayhuaman Fortress: Leave the city center to visit the impressive megalithic fortress of Sacsayhuaman. Marvel at the giant, perfectly fitted stone walls (some weighing over 100 tons) and enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the entire Cusco valley.
🗿 Q’enqo & Puca Pucara: Explore the mystical carved labyrinth and ancient sacrificial altar of Q’enqo. This is closely followed by a visit to Puca Pucara, known as the “Red Fortress”, which served as an ancient Inca military outpost and traveler check-point.

They provided us with Miguel Angel, one of the best tour guides I've ever had the pleasure of following in my years of travel. He took excellent photos of my partner and I, gave us a rich and detailed history of the wonder, and also ensured that we felt comfortable and relaxed through the whole tour.
