Itinerary

Day 1: South Valley – Tipon – Pikillacta and Andahuaylillas – 7 hour tour – in group

On this day we will have an exclusive adventure. We will visit the picturesque and little explored South Valley of Cusco. We will begin the tour in Quispicanchis where we will visit the impressive archaeological complex of Tipón, an important center of worship where the Incas worshiped water, one of the elements of nature considered sacred in the Andean view, which flows through canals and passes through terraces and waterfalls. Next we will go to the Pikillacta archaeological complex, the Huari urban center that dates back to pre-Inca times. You will be able to see that the constructions are quite different from the Inca constructions. Finally, we will visit the village of Andahuaylillas, where we will see its important and fantastic 16th century church known as the Sistine Chapel of America due to the large number of paintings on its walls and ceiling. It has an organ decorated with angels and cherubs and large murals by famous artist Tadeo Escalante. Before we return, you will have free time for a brief optional visit to the Sacred Stones Museum. At the end of the tour we will return to Cusco where we will drop you off at your hotel.

No. Tour cancellations due to bad weather conditions are non-refundable, as these are factors beyond our control.

Is it obligatory to be vaccinated against Fiebre Amarilla?

Fiebre Amarilla vaccination is not mandatory for visitors to Peru. However, it is an additional precaution, especially since it is a tropical country.

Travel insurance is not mandatory, but it is extremely important, especially for tourists who decide to travel to Peru.

Electrical plugs and voltage in Peru

The standard voltage in Peru is 230 volts, however, in some hotels there are plugs with 110, in this case, there are transformers that reduce the voltage.

What is the best currency to use in Peru, dollars or nuevo sol, and where to change?

Almost all establishments accept payments in dollars, so this will be the most used currency in the country. The ideal is to have an amount of dollars and a smaller amount of nuevo sol to make purchases at craft fairs, for example.

It is recommended to take dollars with you and exchange them in Peru at reliable exchange houses recommended by the travel agency.
