The Temple of the Sun
1 This semi-circle building made of rock from ancient times is an example of unusual design and craft in Peru. The way this Temple was built is how it got its name, and the way the Sun appears through the odd shaped windows especially exceptional during winter and summer solstices. There is a tower in the temple of the Sun where mummies were kept and worshipped in the royal tombs, apparently to the cult of the Sun mummies are important.
Inca Trail
2  A unique experience, trekking with a guide for four days through the most beautiful, unbelievable landscapes and mountains before arriving at Macchu Picchu and seeing the sun rise over the mountains from the Sun Gate. The camaraderie that you get from doing this trek is fantastic; you make friends for life with strangers. During the Trek, you will also have been through Huayllabamba, Pacamayo and Huinay Huayna.
Sacsayhuaman
3 This place is an impressive archaeological site, largest of four on the outskirts of Cusco, Peru. Another ruin which the Incas built and had a military connection as it was where a major battle with the Spanish back in 1536. In English, Sacsayhuaman is translated as Speckled head. The building is made of massive stones cut to slot in together with no mortar. You are in awe of the work that was done then, when on guided tour here.
Qoirkancha
4 This Inca site makes up the foundations of the church of Santo Domingo, a strange combination of monolithic Inca and arched colonial architecture. By taking a private tour, you get to learn more than when you go yourself. Translated, Qoirkancha means ‘Golden Courtyard’ and in the times before lived up to its name with walls clad with sheets of gold, silver statues. It is no surprise it was raided by the Spanish when they invaded
Macchu Picchu Ruins
5 The most infamous Inca monument in the world, set in the stunning landscape and mountains. You are drawn to each section of the ruins as you want to see more wonders on your guided tour. All the mysterious nooks and crannies that historians can only guess what they were for. From inside you are looking out at a view you would love to see every day of your life. And still, to this day there is mystery around its construction.
Maras Salt Pools
6 Not far from Machu Picchu and Cusco is Maras Salt Pools. Found in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, are the worked salt pans. Even before the Incas, salt has been collected here. The salt rises to the surface from a subterranean stream and disappearing in the Andean sunshine. The Andean hillsides look amazing with saltworks pools terraced up them. It looks like it has snowed in the sunshine. A great different guided tour.
Wiñay Wayna
7 Along the Inca trail are the ruins of Winay Wayna. A guided tour to these fascinating ruins gives you a good idea of daily life in this area many years ago. The ruins are foundations of houses clinging to a steep hill. You can see what is left of staircases, water fountains and see remnants of where the land had been farmed. These ruins are well preserved and add to the landscape. It is not surprising it is called ‘Little Machu Picchu.
Temple of the Three Windows
8 You can find the Temple of the Three Windows on the Sacred Plaza in the town section of Machu Picchu. It is a massive construction of a lithic structure. The long main wall holds three large windows. Why this building has these three windows, there are many ideas, but Hiram Bingham who discovered Machu Picchu thought the three windows symbolised the place from where the Incas came. Have a private guided tour to learn its known history.
Paucarcancha Ruins
9 Belonging to the Ollantaytambo district in the province of Urubamba, Cusco, this archaeological site in another great tourist attraction. It has two stages; one is where you can see the beautiful landscape known as the Andenes, the other is in many sections of the remnants of a building. These parts include the ruins of a backyard, rooms, and another backyard. Always worth taking a sightseeing tour to here.
Intihuatana
10 The place when the sun gets tied, Intihuatana was a religious building. Originally made up of 4 sides, the same representing the north, east, west and south and found at the top of the sacred mountain. You climb 70 steps to reach this wonder of ancient technology, as it was recognised, as a type of clock to know when to celebrate the winter solstice, one of the most famous and influential times of celebration and rituals in Inca times.
