1 Day Sacred Valley Full Day

Departing from Cusco, begin your journey at Tipón, a remarkable site that showcases the genius of Inca hydraulic engineering. Here, you will marvel at an impressive system of rock-carved canals, which continue to function flawlessly, demonstrating the Incas’ advanced understanding of water management. This site provides a fascinating insight into the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Inca civilization, as they skillfully manipulated the natural landscape to sustain their needs.

Next, step back in time at Pikillacta, an ancient city predating the Inca era, built by the pre-Inca Wari Culture between 500 and 900 A.D. This captivating archaeological site showcases sophisticated urban planning, featuring an intricate network of streets and avenues lined by towering 7-meter-high walls. Exploring Pikillacta offers a unique glimpse into the architectural and societal structures of the Wari people, highlighting their profound influence on later Andean civilizations.

Afterwards, immerse yourself in the charm of Andahuaylillas, home to the Church of San Pedro Apóstol, often referred to as the Sistine Chapel of America. This church is renowned for its stunning blend of colonial art and Andean ideology, beautifully expressed through its intricate murals and baroque architecture. The interior is a cultural masterpiece, offering a rich visual and spiritual experience that reflects the harmonious fusion of two distinct cultural heritages.
