About this activity

This tour takes you through the unique attractions of the South Valley, including Andahuaylillas, Pikillaqta, and Tipón, offering a deeper and less crowded alternative to the classic routes around Cusco. Travelers will enjoy a rich combination of history, culture, and engineering, exploring pre-Inca and Inca sites while learning from expert local guides.

What makes this experience special is the opportunity to connect with authentic Andean traditions, visit lesser-known destinations, and enjoy stunning landscapes without the crowds. It is ideal for travelers interested in culture, history, and off-the-beaten-path experiences, including couples, families, and curious explorers looking for something different.
