Overview
Discover the Southern Valley of Cusco, a touristic route that encompasses several important attractions located southeast of the city between the provinces of Cusco and Quispicanchis. This full-day tour begins with a convenient hotel pickup, followed by visits to three of the most significant sites in the region: Tip贸n, an impressive pre-Hispanic hydraulic engineering complex; Pikillacta, one of the best-preserved pre-Inca cities built between 600-1000 AD by the Wari culture; and the Church of San Pedro de Andahuaylillas, famously known as the 'Sistine Chapel of America' due to its stunning interior decorations.
Top Highlights
Marvel at Tip贸n's sophisticated water channels and terraces, showcasing the Incas' mastery of hydraulic engineering. Explore Pikillacta, an extensive Wari administrative center with well-preserved adobe walls and streets dating back to pre-Inca times. Be amazed by the exquisite interior of Andahuaylillas Church, with its ornate gold-leaf altar and breathtaking ceiling murals that earned it the nickname 'Sistine Chapel of America'. Learn about the cultural significance and historical importance of these sites from your knowledgeable guide as you journey through this scenic valley. This well-organized tour provides a perfect complement to Cusco city explorations, taking you beyond the typical tourist trail to discover remarkable archaeological and colonial treasures just a short distance from the city.
