Detailed Itinerary: Day by Day
Day 1:
Cusco - Tipón - Piquillaqta - Andahuaylillas - Cusco
We will pick you up from your hotel between 8:30 and 9:00 am to board our tourist bus heading south of the city of Cusco. During the journey, we will pass through different scenic landscapes.
Our first stop will be at the Tipón Archaeological Park, one of the best examples of agricultural terraces built by the Incas with finely carved stones. These terraces were used to cultivate crops and were irrigated by perfectly designed water channels, giving us a clear idea of the Incas’ great knowledge of hydraulic engineering.
Next, we will visit Pikillacta (Piki = flea / Llacta = town). This archaeological complex, built with adobe, was constructed by the Wari culture and is one of the best-preserved pre-Inca sites. This culture, in its expansion efforts, aimed to reach the city of Cusco due to its large population.
Continuing our journey, we will visit the beautiful town of Andahuaylillas, where one of the most stunning colonial temples stands, known as the “Sistine Chapel of America.” Inside, you will find beautiful decorations and impressive mural paintings.

Just 11 kilometers from the Plaza de Armas, the historic district of San Jerónimo celebrates its patron saint every late September: 5 days of processions, 26+ dance troupes, a food fair, and a 16th-century church built on an Inca huaca. In 2016, it was declared Cultural Heritage of the Nation. Most tourists don't know it exists; many young locals don't either. This year it starts on Monday, September 28, with the main day on Wednesday 30.
Third Sunday of September. 9 a.m. The pututos sound and 1,500 students from the National School of Sciences of Cusco set off in procession from their school to the Sacsayhuamán esplanade. They are going to compete — for real — in speed, strength, and endurance tests that replicate those the Tahuantinsuyo used to determine who was ready for adulthood. It is not a choreography. It is the Warachicuy, and in 2025 it was declared a Cultural Interest.
