SOUTH VALLEY TOUR<br />
TIPON: This beautiful set of agricultural terraces, long<br />
stairways and canals carved in stone is located about<br />
20 km southwest of the city (45 minutes). It consists of<br />
twelve terraces flanked by stone walls and huge<br />
terraces perfectly polished. Tipon was part of the real<br />
estate Yahuarhuaca while, a place dedicated to religious<br />
worship and agricultural experimentation.<br />
PIKILLAQTA: The complex includes the city itself plus<br />
another 23 sets associated with closeness and<br />
functionality, containing historic lagoon, with a<br />
suggestive landscape considered one of the most<br />
beautiful in the world. Pikillaqta was built during the<br />
heyday of the Wari culture AD 500 or 900 years. This<br />
great urban and ceremonial center of almost 2 km<br />
long, consists of a citadel surrounded by ramparts and<br />
walls up to 7m. height.<br />
Pikillaqta stands as a massive set of stone structures<br />
concentrated on a hill overlooking the beautiful lagoon<br />
of Lucre. Pikillaqta fleas or city, is perhaps the greatest<br />
pre-Inca city in the region and its name derives from<br />
the presence of numerous compounds of only 4 m<br />
square which apparently belonged to a military<br />
garrison.<br />
ANDAHUAYLILLAS: Is a cozy village with a warm<br />
climate. In its main square, we will find its most valuable<br />
jewel: the colonial church of Andahuaylillas, considered<br />
the "Sistine Chapel" of the Americas.<br />
