SOUTH OF THE CUSCO VALLEY

SC1- Pikillaqta & Andahuaylillas :

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 before the rise of the Inkas. It is a quiet place, good to contrast their crude 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 and impressive monstrance, paintings, and carved wood-works gilded with gold leaves.

SC2 - Tipon & Huacarpay.

Daily excursion ( 9 am or 2 pm available) Private tour.

Tour to Southeast down the Valley of Cusco ,Tipon is one of the most important Archaeological sites in the area , terraces found over here is very impressive, it contains 12 very fertile terraces that are still cultivated, and their retaining walls were built with well carved 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 of the Andean waterfowl and enjoy a beautiful Andean landscape.
