Discover a lesser-known but culturally rich side of Cusco on this half-day tour through the South Valley. Visit the impressive Inca hydraulic complex of Tipón, explore the pre-Inca Wari ruins of Pikillaqta, and marvel at the stunning colonial church of Andahuaylillas, often called the “Sistine Chapel of the Andes.” A perfect blend of Inca innovation, ancient legacy, and colonial beauty in one unforgettable experience.

  • We will begin the tour by picking you up in our private transportation, heading southwest of Cusco on a scenic 50-minute drive.

    Our first stop is the Tipón Archaeological Park, an impressive site featuring a series of agricultural terraces, long stone staircases, and finely carved water channels. Its thirteen terraces are surrounded by beautifully polished stone walls, showcasing the Incas’ advanced engineering skills.

    Next, we’ll visit Pikillaqta, located about 30 km from Cusco. This important pre-Inca archaeological complex is considered one of the best-preserved cities from the Wari culture, covering an area of approximately 50 hectares.

    Our final stop is the charming town of Andahuaylillas, situated 36 km from Cusco. Here, you’ll visit its famous colonial church, part of the Andean Baroque Route, often referred to as the “Sistine Chapel of the Americas” due to its intricate woodwork, stunning murals, and beautifully preserved colonial art.

    We will then return to the city of Cusco, arriving at around 1:00 p.m., concluding this enriching journey through the South Valley.
