Day 01

Itinerary

We will start with the pick up of our passengers from their respective hotels at 08:00 hrs to have a guided tour in the southern valley where we can visit the following places:

Tipon: A large and impressive cultivation area containing 12 terraces that are currently cultivated, whose walls were built with finely carved stones. Even more impressive is the irrigation system that is still serving agriculture and the advantage is the water intake in the spring season.

Pikillaqta: It presents characteristics of a large urban center corresponding to the time of development of the Wari empire with more than a thousand buildings including squares, colcas (food deposits), courts or houses, temples, long and narrow streets with buildings that were up to 4 stories high.

Andahuaylillas: Typical Andean village of the time of the colony of singular origin and architecture. In Andahuaylillas stands out its catholic temple of the colonial time with a beautiful decoration and mural painting of the XVII and XVIII century known as the Sistine Chapel of Cusco. On the way back we will pass through Saylla, a typical Cuzco village where you can enjoy the delicious pork rinds (optional).

Finally we will be returning to the city of Cusco at 14:00 hrs approximately.
