About this experience
This tour is unique because it reveals a completely different side of the Inca world, away from the classic routes. In a short half-day trip, you explore ancient engineering at Tipón, where water flows through perfectly designed channels that still work today. It’s a rare chance to see how advanced Inca science and spirituality were, especially in relation to water worship and agriculture.
