However, a century later, the city was abandoned after the Spanish conquest, saving itself from the destruction that reached other Inca settlements. Instead, the jungle grew slowly among its stone constructions and hid it, protecting it. During the guided tour, you will learn about the origins of this impressive citadel and visit its most outstanding monuments. At the end of the tour, you will return by bus to Aguas Calientes. Overnight at the selected hotel in Aguas Calientes on bed and breakfast basis.
