Q: Can you explore Qorikancha on your own or do you need a guide?

Yes, you can explore Qorikancha on your own.

You can typically hire a guide at the temple’s entrance.

Q: Is Qorikancha worth it?

Yes, Qorikancha is worth it—it was the most significant religious and political temple in the Inca civilization, so it’s a bucket-list attraction for history buffs.

During your visit to Qorikancha, be sure to appreciate the Inca stonework, which showcases Inca engineering with huge stone blocks and trapezoidal doorways fitted together without mortar. The on-site museum displays ancient artefacts and artwork, while the landscaped gardens offer a peaceful escape from the crowds of Cusco.

Q: Is Qorikancha near any other attractions worth visiting?

Yes, Qorikancha’s convenient location in central Cusco means it’s within a short walk of many attractions worth visiting. It’s only five minutes away from Plaza de Armas (Huacaypata), a bustling main square over which Cusco Cathedral (Catedral del Cuzco) reigns; the landmark is famous for its melee of Gothic, baroque, and Renaissance architecture.

Private Cusco Walking Tour: Inca Museum, Qorikancha and San Pedro Market

Margaret_M, Sept 2025

A good introduction to Cusco and Inka culture

The private tour was an excellent use of our time in Cusco. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Inka history and culture. The only hiccup was a mixup on the start time given to us being 1 hour earlier than the start time given to our guide.

Perfect welcome into Cusco

Awesome tour, very detailed! We learned so much about the Inca’s and their gods. The pace was perfect! We even tried some of the local tamale made by local women.

Alexandra_N, Jan 2024

Fantastic Tour!

This walking tour was fantastic. Our tour guide Wilber met met us at our hotel early and made sure we had everything we needed for the tour including a rain Poncho as the weather is very unpredictable in Cusco. He was very knowledgeable about the city and all the sites. He asked us what was more important and if we wanted to spend more time in certain spots Vs others so he was very accommodating. We even had time to sir down at a local cafe and enjoy a quick late lunch. I highly recommend doing this tour. 10/10
