We will pick you up at your hotel between 8:30 and 8:45 a.m. to start our tour to the Southern Valley of Cusco. This journey will allow you to explore stunning natural landscapes while discovering Inca and pre-Inca architecture at iconic sites.
We will begin our excursion heading towards Tipón, located about an hour from Cusco. This archaeological complex, dedicated to the worship of water, will immerse you in Andean cosmology and help you understand the importance of this element for the Incas. We will enjoy a guided tour of approximately 45 minutes to appreciate the fountains and aqueducts that make up this fascinating place.
Next, we will continue to Pikillacta, an archaeological site of the Wari culture dating from the 15th to 18th centuries. Here, we will observe the use of stucco on its ancient walls, and our guide will share information about the design and purpose of this impressive pre-Inca city. We will spend around 45 to 50 minutes in Pikillacta.
Our final stop will be Andahuaylillas, a peaceful village where we will visit the famous Sistine Chapel of America, an architectural gem from the 17th century. This temple is renowned for its magnificent frescoes and murals that cover its walls and ceiling, representing the fusion of Andean and Spanish cultures.
At the end of our visit, we will make a brief stop in Saylla, where you will have about 30 minutes to relax and grab a bite. After that, we will return to Cusco, dropping off our passengers near the Plaza de Armas approximately six hours and 30 minutes after the start of the tour, around 3:30 p.m.
