We’ll pick you up from your hotel at 8:30 a.m. and drive about 40 minutes southwest of Cusco to reach Tipón, part of the legendary Qhapac Ñan or Inca Trail. This impressive archaeological complex showcases masterful Inca engineering focused on water channels and terraced agriculture.

Next, we’ll visit Pikillaqta, one of the largest and best-preserved pre Inca (Wari) cities in Peru. We’ll also stop by its small site museum, which is well worth a visit. Continuing our journey, we’ll explore Rumiqolqa, once a main gateway to Cusco and a key route toward the Qollasuyo region.

Our final stop will be Andahuaylillas, home to the so called “Sistine Chapel of the Americas,” a stunning colonial church adorned with magnificent murals and baroque art

We’ll return to Cusco around 2:30 p.m., giving you time to rest and prepare for the next leg of the trip. At 4:00 p.m., we’ll take a bus to Ollantaytambo, where you’ll board a train to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo) for an overnight stay, ready for your Machu Picchu adventure the following day.
