one day in cusco: what order should i see the sights?

To see Cusco's major sights efficiently in one day, a practical sequence is to start with Cusco Cathedral and Coricancha in town. Next, continue to the cluster of ruins consisting of Sacsayhuaman, Kenko, Puka Pukara, and Tambomachay. Grouping Cusco Cathedral and Coricancha together followed by the four archaeological sites covers the city's top sights within a single day.
