Located on the outskirts of Cusco, the often overlooked archaeological site of Tipón is arguably the best demonstration of Inca engineering skills in existence. The site comprises a network of agricultural terraces, some of which are still used today, and stonemasonry similar to that of Machu Picchu—but without the crowds.

Sacred Valley Of Incas is a renowned attraction in Cusco. Most travellers visit it on a day trip and some choose to combine it with their trip to Machu Picchu. Chincheros, Maras & Moray, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo and Pisac are some of the renowned sites of the Sacred Valley and Sacred Valley VIP tour programme covers them all in a day trip from Cusco. If you are inquisitive to know much more about the history and culture of Peru and Cusco in specific, South Valley Tour would be a great addition to the Sacred Valley Tour. South Valley Tour offers trip to a lesser known attraction off the city of Cusco. Dotted with lakes and Inkan archaeological ruins, the sites of Pikillaqta, Tipon and Andahuaylillas are worth the half day trip from Cusco.

Near the village of the same name, where an impressive rural colony mansion stands (1650), there are 12 terraces still cultivated, some enclosures and an irrigation system considered a masterpiece of hydraulic engineering, still used by the surrounding population. Then continue to Pikillacta, corresponding to the Wari culture, considered one of the best preserved pre-Inca cities of Peru. Among its 700 structures, covering more than 3 thousand hectares, there are stone and mud buildings of two and three floors, distinct terrace work and the head of a condor carved in a rock. Finally, visit Andahuaylillas, a town located 40 kilometres from Cusco that has the Church of Andahuaylillas as its main attraction.

We have just realized...
We have just realized that the tour guide did not take us to Pikillacta !!!! Whilst the rest of the tour was very good and informative we feel that we were cheated out of what we had booked and paid for !!

A vibrant and informative half-day excursion!
I took this tour yesterday and saw some amazing places. Danny, my tour guide, was extremely accommodating and we even customized the route a bit! He knew so much about the history of the sites we went to and was very easy to talk to. If you have a free morning and want to explore some Inka and colonial landmarks outside of Cusco, this is a great tour for you!

A must.
Everyone should add this tour to a trip to Peru. Pikillacta is almost as impressive as Machupicchu and if and when it is completely excavated may rival it - see it before the crowds move in. Tipon and San Pedro Apostol de Andahuaylillas are both beautiful and peaceful. Our guide (Michael) is well-informed and entertaining and our driver (Franklin) is competent and friendly. Please do not miss.
