Embark on an unforgettable journey through the Southern Valley of Cusco, where history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes come together. This exclusive tour takes you to three remarkable sites: Andahuaylillas, home to the stunning “Sistine Chapel of the Americas” with its mesmerizing frescoes framed in gold; Tipón, a masterpiece of Inca hydraulic engineering featuring an intricate irrigation system still in use today; and Pikillaqta, a vast archaeological site built by the Wari civilization around 700 AD, with its impeccably preserved walls, chambers, and passageways.

Itinerary

Our daily departures allow you to explore at your preferred pace, whether on a private tour or as part of a small group. Just 30 km southeast of Cusco, this tour offers a deep dive into the region’s rich history and traditions:

  • Tipón: Discover the ingenious Inca water channels, designed to provide a continuous water supply to local communities. These narrow and sophisticated fountains, still functioning today, showcase the advanced engineering skills of the Incas.
  • Pikillaqta: Explore this impressive pre-Inca city of the Wari culture, with perfectly aligned walls and urban planning that influenced later civilizations.
  • Andahuaylillas: Visit the 17th-century Andean Sistine Chapel, adorned with vivid murals, baroque altars covered in gold leaf, and a blend of Catholic and Quechua symbology.
  • Additional highlights: Optional visits to a local museum showcasing Inca artifacts and a traditional handicraft market where you can interact with local artisans and purchase unique souvenirs.

After an enriching cultural experience, we will return to Cusco, where our services conclude.
