SOUTH VALLEY ITINERARY
The South Valley Tour begins early with pickup from your hotel in Cusco, paving the way for a journey filled with history and culture as you head south of the city.
The first stop on our South Valley Tour is Tipon, a majestic Inca complex known as the Temple of Water. Here, you can marvel at its sophisticated hydraulic system, green terraces, and channels that have remained intact for centuries, testaments to Inca ingenuity.
The tour continues to the Archaeological Park of Pikillacta, a pre-Inca city of the Wari culture. Its straight streets and stone walls tell stories of an influential civilization, making this site a key to deciphering the past of the South Valley.
Finally, the journey takes us to the picturesque Andahuaylillas, where the Church of San Pedro Apóstol dazzles with its baroque frescoes, vibrant murals, and altars adorned with gold leaf, earning it the title of the Sistine Chapel of America.
After exploring the treasures of the South Valley, we’ll return to Cusco in the afternoon, closing a day where archaeology, history, and architecture intertwine in an unforgettable experience.
This South Valley Tour is ideal for those who wish to explore a less crowded but equally fascinating circuit, perfect for complementing your experience in Cusco.
