Daily excursion ( 9 am or 2 pm available)
Private tour .
Tour to southeast down the Valley of Cusco
to Pikillacta, the only ruins of a Pre-Inka City near Cusco. It is attributed to
the Wari Culture, and probably marks the southern boundary of their territory

stonework with the striking Inca stone masonry.
Then you will continue your journey toward
Andahuaylillas; a typical Andean Village where you will visit what is known as
the "Sistine Chapel of America", an old church from the 17th century with a nice

stones. Even more impressive is the irrigation system that is still serving
agriculture and was made taking advantage of the water spring existing in the
spot. It has carved stone channels, precisely calculated and sometimes with
almost vertical falls that all together constitute a hydraulic engineering
master work. Likewise, there are some fountains that must had ceremonial duties.
You will be up at dawn to take a short
drive to lake Huacarpay, where you will enjoy observing representative samples
