First, after picking you up from your hotel. The Tour to the South Valley Cusco begins with a journey of approximately 15 miles (24 km). Soon, we head east towards the archaeological site of Tipón. It is indeed one of the most important sites in the area. As well, as an ancient and sacred place where the Incas worshipped water. Certainly, Tipon is one of the most sacred natural elements. Above all, today, water still flows through the impressive series of canals and platforms of Tipon. Most importantly, you will visit with your expert guide on the subject.
Then, we will go to the small town of Huaro. To clarify, we will visit its church that dates from the XVI century. Known for its extraordinary murals authored by Tadeo Escalante. Then, we will board our tour to the South Valley Cusco with our guide for the last stop. The Museum of Sacred Stones. Where we will discover about 200 ancient geological artifacts. Likewise, you will see functional and utility-type stones. For example, pipes, wheels, and more. Also, not to mention the stones used for ceremonial purposes.
To conclude, we will visit the church of Andahuaylillas known as the Sistine Chapel of the Americas.
As a result, you will be back in Cusco and dropped off at your hotel on time. Then, you can enjoy a full night after having done the Valle del Sur Cusco Tour!
