Itinerary
First, we will visit the archaeological site of Tipón, a place dating from the Inca period and where you can appreciate an exceptional hydraulic system, with its exterior conduits that are preserved in perfect condition.
Next, we will visit the archaeological site of Pikillacta, a place that holds the vestiges of a great civilization, the Wari culture (pre-Inca), famous for its extraordinary ability to plan its cities.
Finally, we'll visit the Sistine Chapel of the Americas, a place that showcases one of the finest examples of colonial art, with gilded altars, murals, paintings, and polychrome ceilings. On the way back, we'll stop in Saylla, a typical village in Cusco, where you can enjoy the best of the region's cuisine. Don't miss the delicious chicharrón (optional).

About Cusco
Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.
The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
