Description

Spend an unforgettable day strolling among huge, stone statues on our Abode of the Gods Day Trip. We'll set off from Cusco and stand before sculptures that tower over 30 feet high.

Abode of the Gods Day Trip

Having picked you up from your hotel in Cusco at 9 am, we'll set off northbound for the town of Sencca. After around 45 minutes on the road, we'll come to Apukunaq Tianan, the Abode of the Gods.

As soon as you arrive, you'll find yourself in awe of this beautiful ensemble of giant sculptures carved into the limestone rock. We'll start walking around the Abode of the Gods and discovering the meaning of this place and all the sculptures we see. Some of them tower up to 33 feet (10 metres) high!

The puma, the three-dimensional door, the protective Apu or God Wiracocha, the Pachamama or the viewpoint are some of the sculptures we'll admire. From here, we'll also gaze out at breathtaking views of the city and the scenery surrounding it. Our guide will also share some of the best-kept secrets of Andean cosmology and the history of the Inca period.

We'll then return to Cusco and drop you off at your hotel at around 12 noon.

El guía que nos tocó era muy simpático, sabía mucho de la historia de Cusco y tenia demasiada paciencia para explicar. Sin embargo, el lugar fue un poco decepcionante. En total la visita duró aprox una hora, porque había muy pocas cosas por ver. Es un sitio que está en construcción por artistas actuales, no es un sitio original de la civilización Inca. Además, las esculturas que vimos no parecían de la cultura Inca, eran muy modernas y con rasgos más europeos que andinos. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide that touched us was very nice, he knew a lot about the history of Cusco and had too much patience to explain. However, the place was a bit disappointing. In total, the visit lasted about an hour, because there were very few things to see. It is a site that is under construction by current artists, it is not an original site of the Inca civilization. In addition, the sculptures we saw did not seem to be from the Inca culture, they were very modern and with more European than Andean features. Opinion translated. Show original.
