class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking for <strong>a unique experience in Cusco<\/strong> before visiting Machu Picchu? This <strong>mini trek<\/strong> of around 4 hours to Sacsayhuam\u00e1n is perfect for those <strong>who enjoy trekking<\/strong>, uncovering local legends, and breathing in the fresh mountain air. Starting from Cusco\u2019s historic centre, you\u2019ll follow ancient Inca paths, stop at <strong>spectacular viewpoints<\/strong>, and visit two <strong>iconic sites<\/strong> just outside the city: the impressive fortress of <strong>Sacsayhuam\u00e1n <\/strong>and the <strong>White Christ<\/strong>, watching over Cusco from above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To finish on a high note, the route takes you through the charming <strong>neighbourhood of San Blas<\/strong>, famous for its cobbled streets, artisan workshops, and bohemian atmosphere. A short yet <strong>rewarding trek<\/strong> \u2013 the ideal adventure for travellers who <strong>love exploring on foot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Itinerary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your experience <strong>starts at 10:00 a.m.<\/strong>, when your guide collects you from your hotel in the <a href=\"https:\/\/freewalkingtourcusco.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Historic Centre<\/a>. From that moment, you\u2019ll begin a walking journey designed to let you enjoy both the scenery and the stories that surround this magical city.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"text-left -mt-4 mb-4 mr-4\" id=\"leer_mas_6a6db309d8437\"><div class=\"leer-mas-contenido pt-2\" style=\"display: none;\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-16-font-size\">Ascent to the San Crist\u00f3bal Viewpoint<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first stretch, around 25 minutes uphill, will take us to the <strong>San Crist\u00f3bal viewpoint.<\/strong> From here you\u2019ll enjoy a <strong>breathtaking panorama<\/strong> of Cusco: red-tiled roofs, colonial churches, and the majestic <strong>Huatanay Valley <\/strong>at your feet. It\u2019s the perfect spot to pause, snap some photos, and listen to the first legends your guide will share with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-16-font-size\">Inca Trail to Sacsayhuam\u00e1n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The walk continues along an <strong>ancient Inca path<\/strong>, a gentle uphill climb of another 25 minutes. You\u2019ll go at <strong>your own pace<\/strong>, with time to rest and soak in the Andean nature. Once at the top, you\u2019ll discover <strong>the fortress of Sacsayhuam\u00e1n<\/strong>, one of the masterpieces of the Inca Empire, built in the <strong>15th century<\/strong> during the reign of <strong>Pachac\u00fatec<\/strong>. You\u2019ll walk among gigantic stone walls, perfectly carved, which once witnessed fierce battles and sacred rituals, as your guide reveals the secrets and symbolism of this enigmatic site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fun fact: some scenes of the film <a href=\"https:\/\/elcomercio.pe\/saltar-intro\/streaming\/transformers-conoce-los-escenarios-en-cusco-que-forman-parte-de-la-pelicula-noticia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transformers<\/a> were shot here in 2021, not only because of its historical importance but also for its impressive scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cristo Blanco and Descent through San Blas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-16-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">After visiting Sacsayhuam\u00e1n, a short walk will take you to <strong>Cristo Blanco<\/strong>, the statue that blesses the city from above. From there we\u2019ll begin the descent, not by the same route, but through the <strong>San Blas quartier<\/strong>, known as the \u201cneighbourhood of artists\u201d. Its narrow streets, art galleries and bohemian atmosphere offer <strong>another perspective of Cusco<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tour <strong>finishes around 2:00 p.m.<\/strong>, close to the <a href=\"https:\/\/freewalkingtourcusco.org\/en\/cusco-plaza-de-armas-historical-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Plaza de Armas<\/a>, leaving you right in the heart of the city to continue exploring at your own pace or enjoy a well-deserved lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/div><a href=\"#\" class=\"leer-mas-boton underline\">Read more<\/a><\/div><script>\n        jQuery(document).ready(function($){\n            $(\"#leer_mas_6a6db309d8437 .leer-mas-boton\").click(function(e){\n                e.preventDefault();\n                $(\"#leer_mas_6a6db309d8437 .leer-mas-contenido\").fadeToggle(\"slow\");\n                if ($(this).text() === \"Read more\") {\n                    $(this).text(\"Hide\");\n                } else {\n                    $(this).text(\"Read more\");\n                }\n            });\n        });\n    <\/script>\n\n\n\n<\/div><h2 class=\"tabtitle\">Inclusions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tabcontent\">\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inclusions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Included:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-list\"><ul class=\"advgblist-5c0e50b3-96bf-40b6-9066-b5c009d21cc4 advgb-list advgb-list-yes-alt\">\n<li>Pick-up on foot from your hotel in the morning (in the historic centre).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Professional bilingual guide (English and Spanish).<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not included:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-list\"><ul class=\"advgblist-9d008cd6-a340-46a6-a0e1-c57ed2e954b6 advgb-list advgb-list-dismiss\">\n<li>Tickets for the Saqsayhuaman archaeological site: 70 soles per person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transfer by tourist vehicle (not required, everything will be done on foot).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drop-off at your hotel (the tour will end near the Plaza de Armas in Cusco).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trekking poles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meal.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><h2 class=\"tabtitle\">Pricing<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tabcontent\">\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pricing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Private tours<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-list\"><ul class=\"advgblist-8db082ee-e4b1-4205-aac5-a87bec872fe1 advgb-list advgb-list-controls-play\">\n<li>Adults: 90 USD per person based on two people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minors&nbsp;under 12: Discounts available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Solo travellers: Enjoy a discount too.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><h2 class=\"tabtitle\">Faqs<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tabcontent\">\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Faqs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will there be time for me to have lunch?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, once the tour is scheduled, the time is allocated for the walk and the explanation of the attractions; unless you wish to pay an additional fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the trail?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The walk is steep along an original Inca trail, with a climb of around 150 metres (Cusco sits at 3,400 m a.s.l. and Sacsayhuam\u00e1n at 3,750 m a.s.l.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where do I buy my entrance tickets?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All tickets to enter the site(s) are purchased directly at the entrance, on the same day of the tour.
