Tipon, marvel of Inca hydraulic engineering
is one of the most important pre-Inca archaeological sites in Peru, built by the Wari (Huari) civilization between 550–900 AD—long before the Incas.
It was a large administrative and ceremonial center and shows an entirely different architectural style compared to Inca sites.

Its striking red, yellow, green, and ochre tones form a surreal landscape, making it ideal for photography, light hiking, and connecting with nature.
Highlights:
Natural mineral-rich rock formations with vivid colors
A short, scenic hike with minimal difficulty
Off-the-beaten-path – few tourists know about it
Panoramic views of the Andean mountains and South Valley
Laguna de Urcos is a scenic high-Andean lake located in the heart of the South Valley of Cusco, surrounded by rolling hills, eucalyptus forests, and local farming communities. Known for its calm waters and reflection of the Andes, it's a tranquil stop ideal for nature lovers, birdwatchers, or travelers looking to experience rural Peru.
Huacarpay Lagoon, is a high-Andean wetland surrounded by mountains, pre-Inca ruins, and native flora. It's one of Cusco's best birdwatching spots, home to more than 100 species of resident and migratory birds, and part of the Ramsar Convention on wetlands of international importance.
This natural site is not only beautiful, but also rich in culture and history — located next to the archaeological site of Pikillaqta and the colonial town of Lucre.
