Stop At: San Pedro Apostol de Andahuaylillas, Calle Tacna No 302, Andahuaylillas 08210 Peru
We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco, early in the morning.
This trip will take you through what was in the past known as "La ruta del Sol". When leaving the city of Cusco, the first stop will be in Andahuaylillas, a small and cozy town; but what makes it great is its church of the virreinal era, inside which is an artistic jewel. Paintings on the walls and ceilings of the church give life, admiration, and are enriched with golden altarpieces to the gold leaf. Without a doubt, the San Pedro Apostle Church of Andahuaylillas will impress you.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Parque Arqueologico De Raqchi, San Pedro Peru
Later, on a longer trip you will go to Raqchi, a community in whose heart still preserves Inca walls of what was the temple to the god of the gods of the Incas: Wiraqocha.
