Rise early for breakfast, and then transfer to the airport for your flight to Cuzco. You’ll arrive late morning, check in to your hotel, and have lunch on your own.
This afternoon’s highlight is an included city tour of Cuzco. You may feel that your flight to Cuzco was also a flight back in time, for here the civilization of the Incas—which once spanned a continent—surrounds you.
The Incan legacy greets you in the city’s architecture. While many structures bear the obvious marks of colonial design, chances are they were built on the foundations of Incan buildings. Try as they might to destroy all vestiges of a civilization they saw as “pagan,” Spanish conquerors met their match in Incan masonry.
On your tour, you’ll hear the stories behind some of Cuzco’s many lovely churches. For instance, the site of the Santo Domingo Church had for centuries been the sprawling Inca Temple of the Sun, or Qoricancha.
Gather with your Program Director and travel companions this evening for a Welcome Dinner.
