Early in the morning, you will be picked up at your hotel and taken to Sacsayhuamán, the starting point of the route to Chacán or Balcón del Diablo. This place showcases perfect harmony between nature and Inca architecture, with structures that blend seamlessly with the rocks that house them and where rituals dedicated to water worship were performed. A natural cave, created by erosion caused by the Saphy River, harbors Inca carvings within it; at the top, a platform between the rock acts as a balcony and offers a unique view of the landscape. After taking photos, you will return to Cusco, not before stopping at the Cusilluchayo archaeological site, following an ancient Inca path that led toward the Antisuyo. Enter the city through the San Blas neighborhood, known for hosting the most talented artisans.
