South Cusco Valleys - Half day tour, Tipon magnificent, the only Inca site where the irrigation system of the terraces is still working, are doing restoration work in areas still covered by vegetation and expand the site. Pikillagta is a very large pre-Inca town, unfortunately earthquakes have damaged the site. The church of Andahuaylillas is very lavish with baroque decorations and very interesting pictures, too bad you can not take pictures. I was just on this tour, and it was basically a private visit. Even in the sites there was no one because this tour starts before the others, sense of absolute peace

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!
