The South Valley tour includes visits to three sites of great historical value: Tipón, renowned for its advanced hydraulic engineering; Pikillacta, a pre-Inca city of the Wari culture; and Andahuaylillas, famous for its baroque church known as the “Sistine Chapel of America.”
Enjoy an unforgettable experience in Cusco’s South Valley on a half-day tour that blends history, ancestral culture, and Andean landscapes. The tour begins with hotel pickup between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m., traveling comfortably by tourist transport to the main attractions south of the city. The first stop is Tipón, an impressive Inca complex recognized for its advanced hydraulic engineering and agricultural terraces, whose water channels still function today. Next, we explore Pikillacta, an ancient pre-Inca city of the Wari culture, remarkable for its urban planning, imposing walls, and straight streets. Finally, we arrive in Andahuaylillas, where we visit the Church of San Pedro, celebrated for its Andean baroque art, murals, golden altarpieces, and details that earned it the title of the “Sistine Chapel of America.” After this enriching cultural experience, we return to Cusco, dropping you off at your hotel with unforgettable memories and a deeper connection to Peru’s historical legacy.
