Most complete South Valley: Tipón, Pikillaqta and Andahuaylillas
About this tour
The South Valley is the ideal route to see another side of Cusco, without the crowds. We start at Tipón, whose water channels still work after 500 years.
We continue to Pikillaqta, a city of the Wari culture that predates the Incas, and to the church of Andahuaylillas, whose walls and ceilings are covered in Baroque murals. We finish in Oropesa, the town of “pan chuta” bread.
