South Valley (Tipon, Pikillacta And Andahuaylillas) – 05 Hrs Tour

On this day, we will have an exclusive adventure; we will visit the picturesque and little-explored South Valley of Cusco. Beginning the tour, we will head to Quispicanchis, where we will visit the impressive archaeological complex of Tipón, an important center of worship where the Incas worshipped water, one of the elements of nature considered sacred in the Andean worldview, which circulates through channels and passes through terraces and waterfalls. Then, we will visit the archaeological complex of Pikillacta, a Huari urban center belonging to the pre-Inca stage; you will be able to observe that the constructions are very different from the Inca structures. Finally, we will visit the town of Andahuaylillas, where we will visit its outstanding and fantastic 16th-century church known as the Sistine Chapel of America, due to the large number of paintings on its walls and ceilings. It has an organ decorated with angels, cherubs, and prodigious murals by the famous artist Tadeo Escalante. Before returning, we will have time for a brief visit to the Museum of Sacred Stones (optional). At the end of the tour, we will return to Cusco, where we will drop you off at your hotel.
