South Valley Cusco Tour

The tour begins with pick-up from the tourist’s hotel, traveling towards the South Valley. During the journey, the guide will provide a brief introduction about the route and the historical significance of the tour.

The first stop will be the Tipón archaeological site, the most impressive hydraulic complex of the Inca culture. During the visit, you will explore water fountains and channels, agricultural terraces, and foundations harmonizing with the natural surroundings.

The tour will continue towards the Piquillacta archaeological complex, an ancient pre-Inca city of the Wari culture. As you explore, you will discover its extensive stone and mud walls, as well as chambers and storage rooms within an urban area that could have housed up to 10,000 inhabitants.

Continuing the journey, we will explore the landscapes of the South Valley until reaching Andahuaylillas. It’s a traditional town where we will take a short tour of its colonial structures.

The final destination of the tour is the Church of San Pedro Apóstol in Andahuaylillas, also known as the Sistine Chapel of the Americas. It is famous for its colonial architecture with altarpieces covered in gold leaf and paintings from the Cusco school, the most notable being the Baroque mestizo mural depicting the “route of the soul.”

On the return to Cusco, you will see a new perspective of the mountains and the panoramas of the South Valley, alongside the memories of unforgettable experiences. Upon reaching the city, the transport will drop you off at your hotel door or a central point, completing the tour.
