Raul is an excellent guide, with vast knowledge of the Inca and pre-Inca civilizations, as well as more current information such as describing all the items found in the local market we visited. We had a very full day with Raul as our guide, along with his son who did most of the driving and took photos that he is supposed to send us (can't wait to see them!). Tipon was beautiful and fascinating, especially the water that still flows across the site and in the fountains. Raul was very resourceful and took us to see another similarly decorated church when we were unable to enter Anadahuaylillas which was closed for a big festival and parade (which was wonderful to see as well). My one suggestion is to stop for lunch earlier in the day, and if that is not possible, to suggest that guests bring food along with them. We appreciated the book that Raul made to explain what we were seeing.

Your Cusco tour itinerary

-I'll pick you up from your Hotel at 8:30 am to start visiting these incredible places in the southern of Cusco. - OROPESA: A beautiful Andean village where you will get to know the preparation of different types of bread. -TIPON: Tipon is said to be a royal garden commissioned by Wiracocha. It is one of the most elaborate examples of agricultural terracing created by the Incas. Tipon is definitely one of the lesser-visited sites in the Cusco area but it is equally as impressive as those in the Sacred Valley. The Tipon Archeological Complex is located 24 km southeast of Cusco. -ANDAHUAYLILLAS: Here you find the "Sistine Chapel of Peru", a church that is home to golden altars, paintings and many colored ceilings. The chapel is simple and unassuming on the outside, but on the inside you'll find masterpiece of "Escuela Cuzqueña". -On our way back people can enjoy the delicious regional gastronomy. This tour can be customized based on your requirements.
