This fascinating tour begins with the pick-up service at your hotel to 8:00 am. On this day, you'll embark on an exclusive adventure. We will start our journey in Quispicanchis.

We will visit the impressive archaeological complex of Tipón, an important center of worship where the Incas revered water, one of the elements of nature considered sacred in Andean cosmology. Water flows through channels and traverses terraces and waterfalls.

Next, we will head to the archaeological complex of Pikillacta, the Huari urban center dating back to the pre-Inca era. You'll notice that the constructions here are quite different from Inca constructions.

We continue to the town of Andahuaylillas, where you'll see its 16th-century church, known as the "Sistine Chapel of America" due to the abundance of paintings on its walls and ceiling. The church features an organ decorated with angels and cherubs, as well as large murals by the famous artist Tadeo Escalante.
