Descripción del Tour

Just a short distance from Cusco lies one of the region’s most fascinating and lesser-visited cultural routes: the South Valley.

This unique experience combines Inca engineering, pre-Inca heritage, colonial art, and spectacular Andean landscapes, offering travelers the opportunity to discover a different side of Cusco rich in history, spirituality, and authenticity.

During the journey, you will visit Tipón, a masterpiece of Inca hydraulic engineering; Pikillacta, an impressive pre-Inca city built by the Wari civilization; and Andahuaylillas, a charming colonial village home to the famous church known as the “Sistine Chapel of the Americas.”

Each destination reveals a different chapter of Peru’s rich past—from the sophistication of the Inca Empire to the greatness of pre-Inca civilizations and the artistic legacy of the colonial era.

This tour is ideal for travelers seeking a comprehensive and enriching cultural experience away from the more crowded routes while remaining deeply connected to the living history of the Andes.

Itinerario
Día 1

CUSCO – TIPÓN – PIKILLACTA – ANDAHUAYLILLAS – CUSCO

Your experience begins with pickup from your hotel in Cusco as we travel south of the city.

Our first stop is Tipón, an extraordinary Inca archaeological complex renowned for its agricultural terraces, water channels, and ceremonial fountains that continue to function perfectly today. This remarkable site showcases the Incas’ advanced hydraulic knowledge and their deep reverence for water as a sacred element.

We then continue to Pikillacta, an impressive pre-Inca city built by the Wari civilization. Its wide streets, towering walls, and sophisticated urban planning reveal the remarkable organizational skills of a culture that flourished long before the rise of the Inca Empire.

Finally, we arrive at the picturesque village of Andahuaylillas, where we visit the Church of Saint Peter the Apostle, considered one of the finest examples of Andean Baroque art. Its murals, paintings, gold-leaf decorations, and beautifully ornamented ceilings have made it one of Peru’s most admired colonial churches.

After the visit, we return to Cusco and transfer you back to your hotel or a previously arranged location.
