We will continue to the archaeological site of Sacsayhuamán, a majestic example of Inca military architecture, renowned for its imposing, perfectly assembled stone walls.
The next stop will be Qenqo, an ancient ceremonial center built on a natural rock formation and used for religious rituals.
We will then visit Puca Pucara, a military fortress that was part of Cusco's defensive system, composed of walls, terraces, and stairways.
