The South Valley Cusco Tour offers an intimate, off-the-beaten-path cultural journey combining three extraordinary historical eras in a single morning excursion.

First, explore Tipón, the pinnacle of Incan hydraulic engineering and agricultural experimentation, featuring 12 monumental stone terraces with operational water fountains and aqueducts fed by natural mountain springs. Next, step back to pre-Incan times at Pikillacta, an immense geometric urban citadel constructed by the Wari Empire between 550 and 1100 AD with two-story stone dwellings.

Finally, visit the picturesque colonial village of Andahuaylillas and its famed 17th-century church of San Pedro Apóstol, known worldwide as the “Sistine Chapel of the Americas” for its breathtaking gold-leaf baroque altars, polychrome cedar wood ceilings, and master canvas paintings of the Cusqueña art school.
