Itinerary
Dia 1: Cusco – Andahuaylillas
The tour begins in the morning by heading towards the south of Cusco. Our first stop is the church of Andahuaylillas, considered as the Sixtine chapel of America thanks to the richness in mural art that it contains, that is allocated to the name of the apostle of Saint Peter. After the visit to Andahuaylillas we visit the churches of San Juan Bautista (Saint John the Baptist) in Huaro and Virgen Purificada (the Pure Virgen) in Canincunca, both situated in quaint indigenous villages surrounded by the low Andean nature and a great view of the snow-capped Ausangate (6372 m.a.s.l).
