Friday, March 1: Lima to Cuzco, Peru

Day: 
6

Today we will fly to Cuzco on a commercial flight (cost of round trip ticket not included). We will enjoy an afternoon city tour including the Santo Domingo Convent Monastery (the legendary Koricancha “Site of gold”), the Plaza de Armas and the Cathedral. After seeing the most important sites of the city, we will drive out in the countryside to visit the cult centre of Sacsayhuaman, a name which means "satisfied falcon". Located at the head of what the Incas thought of as the puma-shaped city of Cuzco, this mountaintop site overlooking Cuzco was once a fortress and hosted one of the fiercest battles between the Incas and their Spanish Conquistadors. The fortresses' zigzag ramparts form the teeth of the "puma" and contain rocks weighing as much as 300 tons.
 
Afterwards, we will visit the Pre-Columbian Art Museum. This museum is housed in a beautiful colonial manor and the collection it exhibits includes ceramica, gold, silver, shell and wood artifacts.
 
A gourmet dinner at the MAP Café inside the Pre-Colombian Art Museum is included so you may sample the famous novoandine cuisine.
