早餐后,早上时间自由活动,至到约定时间出发探索库斯科古城半日游。首先,参观太阳神殿。太阳神殿是库斯科和整个印加帝国最受尊敬的寺庙,供奉太阳神因蒂。 其墙壁和地板曾经覆盖纯金,相邻的庭院充满金色的雕像。西班牙人报告说“难以置信的美妙”。西班牙人勒索阿塔瓦尔帕的赎金,大部分的黄金都来自太阳神殿。 西班牙殖民者拆毁寺庙,在其遗址上利用其基础建立圣多明我修道院和教堂。大地震严重破坏了教堂,但巨大的,紧密相扣的石块建成的印加石墙仍然屹立。接着,前往萨克赛瓦曼,海拔3701米,在1983年被联合国教科文组织列入世界遗产名录。这里的巨石建筑以其独特的构造显示出军事防御功能,经考古发现,巨石建筑均在事先设有设计模型,采石场会根据模型切割石头,石头运到现场,再根据模型安装成型。巨石切割后不用水泥等粘合物,石头和石头直接拼接,地震不倒,石头缝刀尖都插不进。如今,萨克塞瓦曼不仅是到库克斯的旅行者必游的一个景点,也是每年太阳节庆典表演的举行地。之后,继续游览肯柯神庙。这处迷人的小型遗址名字意为“曲折”。是一个庞大的里程碑石,上面布满了壁龛、台阶和精彩的符号雕刻,还有沟槽,可能用来盛放祭祀供品玉米啤酒,也可能是血液。爬上巨石的顶端,你会找到一个用于仪式的平台,上面有精心雕刻的动物图案。回到下面,探寻神秘的地下洞穴,里面有凿岩而成的祭坛。然后,前往参观普卡普卡拉堡垒遗址。意思为“红色堡垒”,是库斯科的一座军事堡垒遗址。这座堡垒由城墙、梯田、阶梯构成,还有广场、房间、喷泉等,是库斯科和印加帝国重要的防御工事。据传夕阳照在堡垒上,岩石会反射出红色的光芒,所以称为红色堡垒。你会看到塔博玛凯,这是一处据信曾被崇拜过的泉水的源头。行程结束后,返回酒店休息。

早餐后,前往库斯科城郊另一个小镇钦切罗。钦切罗是一个保存得较好的土著民居住的小村庄,在村庄里还经常看见身穿传统服饰的村民。一些较年长的当地人甚至不会说西班牙语。这里离库斯科30公里左右,海拔3762米。从这里可以看到很美的圣谷景色和远处壮丽的雪山顶。这个村子以它周日的集市闻名,如遇周日游览,我们将游览集市。接着,前往尤卡伊,安第斯手工艺传统的中心,其中展示古代传统方式制作的纺织品、土坯、陶器和银器,属于印加传统的原创。此外,您将有机会在这里喂养“居民”,如美洲驼,绵羊和羊驼!继续前往奥扬泰坦博,享用当地午餐。奥扬泰坦博小城还保留着古代传统风貌,坑洼不平的石头路,窄小的街道只能单向通车。 奥扬泰坦博古城在三四百年前是印加帝国中的一个部落王国,建在乌鲁班巴河旁,群山之中。为了抵御外敌,在山上修建了很多城堡要塞,居高临下,易守难攻。结束后,前往圣谷,入住酒店休息。

早餐后,前往火车站,准备乘搭火车前往热水镇,开始探索马丘比丘的天空之城。热水镇是马丘比丘山脚下的小镇,也叫马丘比丘镇,距马丘比丘6公里。由于这里是进入马丘比丘的必经之地,所以早已变成了观光客大本营,餐厅住宿选择众多,设施齐全,价格比库斯科要贵一些,但不会贵得离谱。
抵达后,转搭巴士(约30分钟车程)登上马丘比丘。马丘比丘,是秘鲁一个著名的前哥伦布时期时印加帝国的遗迹,被分成两个大区—城市区和农业区。两区之间由巨大石墙分隔。农业区再分为上城区和下城区,考古学家将城市区细分为三个区域:圣区、平民南区、祭司与贵族区。印加建筑风格的无数小细节是使这座失落之城得以完整重现在世人面前的重要因素:门窗都是梯形的、拐角处全部磨圆,房间内的拐角都微微向内倾斜;连在一起的墙壁每一堵都不是完全竖直的,它们之间相抵连成排,石头之间的拼接如此精准,连一片玻璃都难以插进去。所有这些设计,使得整个结构更加坚固。联合国科教文组织将马丘比丘遗址,列为世界7大奇景之一,同时名列于文化与自然双重头衔的世界遗产中。返回热水镇享用午餐后,乘搭巴士和火车回到库斯科。
