Frequently Asked Questions

A museum dedicated to South America's native camelids — llamas, alpacas, and vicuñas — and their long history in Andean culture and textiles.
Seven real stops in total: the cathedral, Qoricancha, four outlying Inca sites, and the museum, all in about 6 hours.
Llamas and alpacas are both domesticated — llamas (descended from the wild guanaco) are larger and used mainly as pack animals, while alpacas (descended from the wild vicuña) are bred specifically for their soft fiber. Vicuñas remain wild, are Peru's national animal, and have been legally protected from hunting since Inca times.
The temple's walls were originally lined with hundreds of solid-gold sheets, most of which the Spanish stripped as part of the ransom demanded for the captured Inca leader Atahualpa. The Santo Domingo monastery was later built over the temple's foundations, and a 1950 earthquake damaged the colonial structure while leaving the underlying Inca stonework largely intact.

About This Tour

A private guided history tour of Cusco's cathedral, Qoricancha, and the Inca sites of Sacsayhuamán, Qenqo, Pucapucara, and Tambomachay, plus a South American Camelid Museum visit. Take an intimate look at Cusco's colonial and Incan legacy on this private guided history tour. Marvel at the Spanish architecture and art inside the city's main cathedral, and see Qoricancha, a former Inca sun temple now built over by a monastery. You'll also visit the Inca sites of Sacsayhuamán, Qenqo, Pucapucara, and Tambomachay, plus a stop at the South American Camelid Museum to learn about llamas, alpacas, and vicuñas up close.

This 6-hour circuit covers more physical ground than a typical half-day Cusco tour, moving from the city's Spanish colonial core out to four separate Inca archaeological sites and a dedicated camelid museum. Inside Cusco Cathedral, the draw is Spanish colonial architecture and religious art built in the heart of what was once Inca territory; nearby, Qoricancha tells a more layered story. Originally called Inti Kancha, or "House of the Sun," this was the most important temple in the Inca Empire, its walls once lined with hundreds of solid-gold sheets before the Spanish stripped much of that gold to help ransom the captured Inca leader Atahualpa. The colonial Santo Domingo monastery was later built directly over the temple's foundations, and a 1950 earthquake famously damaged the Spanish structure while leaving the underlying Inca stonework almost entirely intact — a striking, literal demonstration of how much more precisely the original builders worked.

Beyond the city center, the tour reaches three Inca sites that rarely get much attention on their own: Qenqo, a ceremonial complex carved directly out of a single massive outcrop of rock, long associated with rituals honoring the sun, moon, and stars, and possibly with mummification practices; Puka Pukara, a well-preserved structure thought to have functioned as a military checkpoint and rest station guarding the road into Cusco; and Tambomachay, whose exact original purpose is still debated among historians — theories range from a ceremonial water shrine to a retreat used by Inca nobility, and the truth may well be a mix of several functions.

The South American Camelid Museum stop rounds things out with a close look at the three camelid species that shaped Andean life long before the Inca Empire existed. Llamas and alpacas are both domesticated — llamas descend from the wild guanaco and were bred primarily as pack animals, while alpacas were domesticated from the wild vicuña specifically for their soft, warm fiber. The vicuña itself remains wild and is Peru's national animal, appearing on the country's coat of arms; protected by law since Inca times, it was nearly wiped out by unregulated hunting in the 20th century before conservation efforts helped its population recover from an estimated 6,000 animals in the 1970s to roughly 350,000 today.
