This day we will do a City tour, in which you will visit several archaeological sites surrounding the city of Cusco:
Tambomachay: Tampobomachay is another name that it receives and means "resting place". The Incas pointed out each place with a characteristic importance, in this almost this archaeological site was destined to the cult of water.
In the place you will appreciate a number of canals, aqueducts and several waterfalls that run through the rocks, this highlights its importance and its creation, also in the place there is a main waterfall and two secondary but they are equal, because if you get to take water from the two waterfalls, these are filled at the same time and with the same amount, data that are surprising and remain a mystery.
Qenqo: It is another special site, its name derives from Quechua and means "labyrinth" in which it shows us mysteries through its underground galleries and innumerable channels that form a labyrinth. It is said that this sacred rock is surrounded by a semicircular wall, similar to an amphitheater and in this place all kinds of rituals were evidenced.
In addition, at the top of the building there are two small rock formations, and according to historians indicate that it is a sundial that served both priests and astronomers who are dedicated to measuring the passage of time.
Today, it remains a mystery, not only because of how the Incas carved it, but also because of what lies beneath it.
Sacsayhuaman: It comes from the Quechua language which means "place where the hawk is fed", it is believed that there was a presence of these birds in the place, hence the name; However, this fortress could have been a ceremonial center as many historians have pointed out, since the building is only 40% complete, so it is not known exactly what function it fulfilled.
They are still debating whether it is a fortress for military purposes or a ceremonial center, although there are traces that this place was a ceremonial temple dedicated to the god Inti (sun) and is the most accurate. However, it surprises many with its large stone blocks with cyclopean shape built in this place.
After visiting these archaeological sites, we go to the house of Pedro Condori, healer and spiritual protector of this sacred site. As in the previous points, we make an offering in honor of the Pachamama (mother earth) and return to the center of the city.
This time our trip is a little longer and we go to Puno, Lake Titicaca during our journey we will visit several attractive sites such as Raqchi where we will do a shamanic tour and cleaning of the "Chac Ras Andinas", after living this beautiful experience we go to lunch to continue with our trip.
On the way we pass through Pucara and visit the museum (optional view) and continue our journey to the city of Puno, and spend the night in this city.
We continue with our trip, this time we visit the famous Temple of fertility in Chucuito, here we are explained about the mystical mystery of the place; it is near the shores of Lake Titicaca in which you will find a temple surrounded by stone phalluses in order to cure women who had infertility, this was done with a magical ritual.
Its name in Aymara is "Inca Uyo" which means Inca virile member in which large offerings were made for women to be cured or make the miracle of reproduction. According to the villagers, through the rite the women recovered their fertility.
The process of the rite was done with coca leaves and purple corn chicha, in which the woman had to sit on the phallus and pour the chicha, now if the chicha was thrown to the side could not have children, but if the liquid went to the center was more than sure to have children.
After the guided tour in the Temple of fertility, we go directly to the beaches of Charcas and do a ceremony "Yatiri" directed to the Mama Cocha (mother lake), then we practice a purification bath in the waters of the Mama Cocha.
Once the spiritual process is finished, we will have lunch in a paradisiacal place and return to the city of Puno (hotel).

Luego nos dirigiremos auna piedra de la misma roca y realizaremos una meditación guiada y podamos conectarnos, una vez culminada esta practica nos regresamos a la ciudad de Puno.
This time we go to the chullpas of Cutimbo, of circular, rectangular or square structure that were built to house great characters recognized from different cultures.
These had an internal burial chamber and was closed with the same stones but carved and joined with clay mortar, however this was especially for the elite, because in its surroundings there were smaller tombs.
The shamanic guide will allow us to know its importance and essence of the place, after that we will do the ceremonial work with Ukhu Pacha (underground world) inside the chullpa, then we will have a picnic lunch in the place and in the afternoon we will return to Puno.
