This tour through the South Valley was a fascinating experience. The hydraulic engineering of Tipón is impressive, and the pre-Inca ruins of Piquillacta transport you to another era. The Sistine Chapel of Andahuaylillas is simply spectacular. Our guide was very informative and brought history to life. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cusco.
