Just a few kilometers from Cusco lies a corridor full of history, culture, and surprising landscapes: the South Valley. This tour combines archaeological wonders like Tipon, with its impressive Inca water channels, the pre-Inca legacy of Pikillacta, and the colonial beauty of the Andahuaylillas Church, known as the "Sistine Chapel of the Americas." Each stop is a window into the past that reveals the grandeur and diversity of Peruvian heritage.
The South Valley Tour is ideal for those seeking a complete and less crowded experience, exploring archaeological sites, living traditions, and charming villages. With us, you will enjoy a day blending culture, nature, and spirituality in a unique Andean setting. Undoubtedly, it is the perfect option to complement your visit to Cusco with a journey full of history and authenticity.
Our adventure begins with pick-up from your hotel, heading south of Cusco.
The first stop will be Tipon, an impressive Inca complex with perfectly preserved terraces and water channels that have been functioning for centuries, demonstrating the great hydraulic engineering ingenuity of our ancestors.
We continue to Pikillacta, an enigmatic citadel of the pre-Inca Wari culture. Here, you will walk through its straight streets and high walls that have withstood the passage of time, imagining life over a thousand years ago. It is often called the "Great Wall of Cusco" due to the magnitude of its structures.
Finally, we arrive at Andahuaylillas, a charming Andean village famous for its colonial church, San Pedro Apóstol. Known as the "Sistine Chapel of the Americas," its interior is adorned with incredible murals, gold leaf altars, and colonial art that will leave you breathless.
After exploring these three gems, we will return to the city of Cusco.
