Descripción del Tour:
After picking you up from the hotel, we will journey to the South Valley of Cusco via the highway, reaching our first destination. The tour begins at the Temple of Water in Tipón, situated 16 miles southeast of the city.
This archaeological site encompasses a vast area with 12 remarkable terraces, primarily dedicated to the water cult. The irrigation system here is particularly impressive, as it remains operational, continuing to irrigate crops even today. Notably, the Inca Trail is part of this site, which spans 240 hectares at an average elevation of 3,316 meters above sea level.
Our next destination is the Pikillacta ruins, a significant pre-Inca urban center and a crucial site for the development of the Huari culture between the 6th and 9th centuries. Pikillaqta is located at an altitude of 3,250 meters above sea level and covers an area of 50 hectares.
We will then proceed to the town of Andahuaylillas. This traditional Andean town is home to a stunning chapel, famously known as “The Sistine Chapel of America”, constructed in the sixteenth century. The place is truly extraordinary, featuring a Renaissance exterior and a Baroque interior adorned with gold, murals, and canvases throughout.
After exploring the remarkable South Sacred Valley, we will drop you off at El Regocijo Square, conveniently located just one block from Plaza de Armas.
