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.
