Itinerary and highlights
We will start with transfer from your hotel in Cusco around 08:30 am. Then we will go to the archaeological center of Tipón, ceremonial center Inka where through a stone channel the flow of water from the high summits of the Pachatusan hill to the lowlands of the valley was controlled.
Later we will visit the Archaeological Complex of Pikillaqta which literally means "city of fleas". It is an old walled citadel of the Wari Empire, which was one of the most important regional centers of the Wari Culture in its expansion into the city of Cusco.
Finally we will conclude the journey visiting the beautiful Church of Andahuaylillas, little jewel of the Colonial period, also known as 'The Sistine of America', inside which is an impressive collection of canvases with gold plated frames and mural paintings, baroque altarpieces , and more. Likewise, we can appreciate the famous pentalingue door.
We will be back in the city of Cusco at approximately 3p.m.
