The tour keeps going to Sacsayhuaman, this site is a megalithic work made by the INCAS; it stands on a hill looming over the city to the north-yet even these enormous stones are filled with that extraordinary inca perfection.
The next sightseeing is named Q'enqo, another shrine by the incas time close to Sacsaywaman, it shows a singular limestone outcrop, which was used to religious cult.
The tour finishes at Puka Pukara and Tambomachay. The first was a kind of establishment or post-house where travelers were logged and goods, animals, etc. were housed temporarily.

MACHU PICCHU
We will pick you up at 6.20 from your hotel to start our trip to machu picchu.
The tour to Machupicchu starts very early in the morning. The first train leaves from the station of San Pedro at 6:00, then during half an a hour a zig-zag way leades to El Arco de Tika Tika (the high point on the outskirts of Cusco) through popular neighboors. If you leave very early from Cusco, you can't let to contemplate its dawn. Afterwards the train descends to La Pampa de Anta, which is an open and grassy country with willow trees, herds of cattle, and many small villages.

Before a great lake, now an extraordinary colorful carpet on an vast opened country. After reaching the edge of the plain the train follows a steep drop through a magnificent gorge into the Sacred Valley via Pomatales - Pachar. Sacred threshold between secret trails and sacred mountains.

Now the route stretches along the Urubamba Canyon between Ollantaytambo and Machupicchu, which grows more narrow and beatyful as the train nears to Machupicchu, for the mountains themselves seem almost vertical and the vegetation is a real jungle.

As you get closed to Machupicchu the spirits of the mountains get made more powerful. By 9:30 the train arrives in Aguas Calientes, the village whence buses are taken during 25 minutes to get the mountain called Machupicchu. Travel in first class to be first in Aguas Calientes.

The tour to Machupicchu (the archeologycal complex) is about 2 hours and a half, which is leaded by a professional tour guide who will explain the most plausible theories about the secrets of Machupicchu. We are sure you will also take the best pictures of the impressive Machupicchu.

TAQUILE ISLAND FULL DAY

Taquile, is a fascinating island on the lake. It is 45km from Puno. It is about seven km long and one km wide and has several hills with Inca terracing. The scenery of the islands is beautiful. The soil is a deep earthy red color which in the strong highland sunlight, contrasts magnificently against the intense blue of the lake. The backdrop of the snow-capped Cordillera Real on the far side completes a splendid picture. The people wear colorful traditional clothes which they make themselves, they speak Quechua rather than the Aymara language of most Titicaca Indians, maintain a strong air of group individuality and don't often marry with non-Taquile people.

We highly recommend to spend one night in the island. A day tour is not recommended if you want to see the complete island.



Itinerary:

Early in the morning our guide will take you from your hotel, to go to the Punos port, there we will take the motorboat (2 hour trip) to go to Taquile island, We also visit Uros island, our guide will tell you everything about this places, the traditions of their inhabitants, etc, going back to Puno in the afternoon.
