AM SHIFT:
08:00 - 08:30: Transfer from hotel to Tipón.
08:30 - 09:15: Start your tour in Tipón, an incredible archaeological site just 27 kilometres from Cusco. This place was dedicated to the cult of water and is considered a masterpiece of hydraulic engineering due to the impressive work carried out in the construction of the irrigation system that was used to maintain the crops on the twelve terraces that are still cultivated and the series of canals that still provide water to local populations.
09:35 - 10:25: Your next stop is Pikillacta, one of the largest and best preserved pre-Inca cities in the country, which corresponds to the Wari culture, ancestor of the Incas. Among its 700 structures, which cover more than 3,000 hectares, there are two and three-story stone and mud constructions, fine terraces and the head of a condor carved on a rock.
10:40 - 11:20: Finally, you will visit a jewel of architecture and colonial art from Cusco. The church of the town of Andahuaylillas will leave you breathless, for a reason it has earned the title of the Sistine Chapel of America: a series of beautiful murals decorate its walls and ceiling, many of them of an educational nature to teach the indigenous population about the Christian religion during the evangelization process in the 16th century.
11:20 - 12:10 Begin your return to Cusco.
