About this tour
After picking you up at the hotel, we will go to the South Valley of Cusco taking the highway until we reach our first stop. We are going to start the tour visiting the temple of water of Tipón, located 16 miles southeast of the city.
This archaeological site has a big area with 12 incredible terraces and it was most dedicated to the water cult. Their irrigation system is even more impressive, because it’s still working and it continues to irrigate crops until today. Another interesting fact is that the Inca Trail is part of it and the entire site has an area of 240 hectares, with an average altitude of 3,316 meters above sea level.
The next stop is at Pikillacta ruins, an important pre Inca urban Centre and a significant place for Huari culture development between the 6th and 9th centuries. Pikillaqta is located at 3,250 meters above sea level with an area of 50 hectares.
Then, we will continue the route to the town of Andahuaylillas. This traditional Andean town has an amazing chapel, well-known as “The Sistine Chapel of America”, built circa in the sixteenth century. This place is truly amazing, with Renaissance style outside and Baroque style inside and an incredible decoration of gold, murals and canvases all around.
After exploring the incredible south sacred valley, we are gpoing to drop you off at El Regocijo Square, located one block from Plaza de Armas.
