South of the city of Cusco, on the way to the highlands, there is this beautiful valley with impressive landscapes, memorable archaeological centers from the pre-Inka and Inka times, and many majestic temples with impressive wall paintings, canvases of the “Escuela Cuscqueña” (art colonial) and sculptures of the Catholic religion, which will make us live unique experiences, between the historical and the living traditions that can be observed in the towns of this valley.
The places we will visit are:
