important in the Inca cosmovision. The agricultural terraces of Tipón are an importantThis tour offers a unique experience by combining the exploration of beautiful natural landscapes with visits to archaeological sites of great historical and cultural importance. Here is a detailed summary of the itinerary:

  1. Tipón: This archaeological complex is known for its impressive agricultural terraces, considered a royal garden commissioned by Wiracocha, an important deity in the Inca cosmovision. The agricultural terraces of Tipon are an outstanding example of Inca hydraulic engineering, as they are irrigated by a complex system of aqueducts coming from the Pachatusan mountain. In addition to the terraces, other structures such as baths, temples, canals and aqueducts can also be found in Tipon.
  2. Pikillaqta: This archaeological site is an adobe complex built by the Huari culture between the 7th and 9th centuries AD. It is the only pre-Inca site in the Cusco area and offers a fascinating insight into the pre-Columbian history of the region. Near Pikillaqta is Rumicolca, an Inca checkpoint that served to regulate travel in the region.
  3. Andahuaylillas: Here you will find the well-known “Sistine Chapel of Peru”, a colonial church that houses an impressive collection of gilded altars, paintings and ceilings decorated with vibrant colors. Although its facade is modest, its interior is a true work of art that leaves visitors in awe.
  4. Saylla: This picturesque village is famous for its delicious pork cracklings, a culinary delight that you can enjoy as part of your gastronomic experience during your return to Cusco.

The tour ends around 2:30 p.m., giving you the opportunity to explore a variety of cultural sites and enjoy the natural landscapes of the Cusco region.
