South Valley of Cusco

Cusco’s South Valley is a highly valuable cultural route and, at the same time, less crowded than other more famous circuits in the region. This makes it an excellent option for travelers seeking places of great historical richness without the intense flow of visitors found at other destinations. This route includes:

Tipón, with agricultural terraces and Inca water channels that showcase pre-Hispanic engineering.

Pikillaqta a settlement of the pre-Inca Wari culture, once a major urban center with streets, enclosures, and walls made of stone and adobe.

Andahuaylillas and its famous 17th-century church featuring interior murals painted by artist Luis de Riaño, it’s an important artistic destination in Peru.
