Itinerary
After picking you up at the hotel at 8:30 a.m., we will leave behind the historic center of the ancient capital of the Inca Empire to enter the South Valley of Cusco.

Walking through the beautiful landscapes that lead to Quispicanchis, we will arrive at Tipon, an impressive archaeological complex of Inca worship. Here we will see with a guided tour how water, one of the basic elements of the Andean cosmovision, was worshipped. You will be surprised!

The excursion will continue with a visit to Pikillacta, another important pre-Inca archaeological site, famous for the use of stucco on its walls. Did you know that it dates back to the 15th and 18th centuries?

Our last stop will be Andahuaylillas, a peaceful traditional village where we will walk through its streets and main square to reach its picturesque chapel, known as the Sistine Chapel of America, as the ceiling and walls are filled with paintings of the Cuzco school.
