Cusco South Valley Tour
Cusco South Valley Tour: Tipón, Pikillaqta & Andahuaylillas
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel and leave the historic centre of Cusco behind to visit the South Valley.
Through the stunning landscapes from Quispicanchis to Tipón, we arrive at the latter - a stunning Inca archaeological complex. Here we'll enjoy a guided tour, exploring the worship of water which took place here and highlighting its centrality to Incan worldview and religion.
Then the tour continues, visiting Pikillacta, another one of the important archaeological sites in the area, and one which predates the Incas - dating from the 15th century.
And the final stop on the tour is Andahuaylillas, a quaint traditional village, where we'll explore its streets and main square, as well as its picturesque chapel - known as the Sistine Chapel of the Americas, thanks to the beautiful paintings which cover the ceiling and the walls.
Having seen this masterwork, we'll give you about 30 minutes of free time in Saylla to enjoy a local treat or beverage. Then, we'll head back to Cusco, leaving you near Plaza de Armas approximately 6.5 hours after the start of the activity.
