Tipon is an impressive Inca archaeological site in Peru featuring stunning architecture, advanced irrigation, and incredible engineering. It provides insights into Incan civilization, offers breathtaking views, and is a must-see attraction in Peru.
Pikillaqta is an ancient city near Cuzco, Peru that features captivating ruins and ongoing archaeological excavations. Visitors can explore the site and learn about the history and daily life of its residents. For history and archaeology enthusiasts, Pikillaqta is a must-see landmark in South America.
On the other hand, The San Pedro de Andahuaylillas church near Cusco, Peru is known as the "Sistine Chapel of the Andes. " Its baroque decoration and colonial-era art, including intricate murals and gold leaf, will transport visitors to a breathtaking world of artistry.
I personally graduated from a tourism program by having crafted this tour and I believe it's the most comprehensive of the area, because we can learn about the pre-Inca, Inca, and colonial periods.
