Explore the southeast of the city of Cusco, then visit attractions such as: Tipón, with its 12 impressive terraces of fertile soil and a water source, which together constitute a masterpiece of hydraulic engineering; Pikillaqta, a satellite city of the Wari culture, has a very harmonious geometric design; and Andahuaylillas, considered the "Sistine Chapel" of the Americas, due to the quality of the artwork found inside.
