We will gather at the agreed time in our meeting point to take the vehicle and begin the tour. The first stop will be Tipón, 27 kilometers southeast of Cusco. This site has a series of well-preserved terraces destined to farming, which we will have time to traverse and take pictures.
Then, we will pass by Pikillaqta, place that has more than a thousand constructions, like temples, colcas and streets with buildings up to 4 floors, preserved from the Wari Empire. Finally, we will visit Andahuaylillas, which the main tourist attraction is the catholic temple (entry ticket not included), considered the Sistine Chapel of Cusco. We will go back in time to observe its decoration and murals of the 17th and 18th centuries maintained in the building. We will have also the possibility to visit the Ritos Andinos Museum (optional visit, entry ticket not included).
After that, we will take our transportation again to go back to Cusco, getting to the downtown and completing the 5 and a half hours that last the tour.
