Tipón, Pikillacta and Andahuaylillas

Begin the experience with a shared journey from Cusco toward the South Valley, a route known for its peaceful landscapes, traditional towns, and important archaeological and artistic sites. This tour offers a different view of the region, connecting Inca engineering, pre-Inca history, and colonial heritage in one itinerary.

The first visit is Tipón, an archaeological site admired for its terraces, water channels, and hydraulic systems. Your guide will explain the importance of this place and how water, agriculture, and architecture were carefully integrated into the landscape.

The route continues to Pikillacta, one of the most important pre-Inca sites near Cusco. Its long streets, walls, and urban layout offer a valuable look at the development of ancient cultures before the rise of the Inca Empire.

La mejor experiencia en un tour complejo. Tomé este viaje el último minuto, para celebrar cumplir 50 años. A pesar de que fue de última hora, la experiencia fue la mejor. La comunicación durante todo el proceso fue excelente. Hice el Camino Machu Picchu de 2 días y llegar desde Cusco es muy complicado, pero había gente en todas las etapas cuidándome. Karla hizo un trabajo increíble. No sé cómo lo hace. El guía tiene una gran energía, conocedor, y fue paciente. Me lo pasé genial con todos en la gira. Recomendaría encarecidamente Karla y Yeska Tours
