Itinerary

• TYPE ARCHEOLOGICAL SITE: Pick up from your accommodation. We will start our tour visiting the city of Tipón, where the archaeological site is located. The precise Inca hydraulic system, which to this day is studied by engineers and architects by the perfection of its channels and by the mathematical calculations found in them, which still remain an enigma, is the most interesting thing to see in this place, as well as the great fountains dedicated to the cult of water. We can appreciate how the Incas worshiped the water.
• PIKILLAQTA'S PRE-INCA CITY: Later we will arrive at the pre-Inca citadel of Pikillaqta. This place belonged to the Great Wari Culture of the pre-Inca era, known as a culture that was a great rival of the Incas and that had several clashes until its defeat, which would mark the beginning of the expansion of the Empire. We will learn more about your history, architecture and ways of life.
• ANDAHUAYLLILLAS TEMPLE: Finally, we will visit the temple of Andahuaylillas, also known as the Sistine Chapel of South America. This temple houses a variety of paintings that show the richness of the School of Cusqueña Art, worth admiring, as well as mural paintings, canvases with life-size paintings, jewels and jewels in gold and silver, as well as a great cultural richness. We will know the transition from Inca belief to Christianity.
• Finally we will return to Cusco making our last stop near the main square located in the city center.
