Cusco Inca and Colonial Art
Old-town churches, Inca and pre-Columbian museums, and a textile center, then Tipón, the Wari ruins and the church known as the 'Sistine Chapel of the Americas' in the southern valley
This is a museums-and-architecture route with a relaxed pace. Walk through the old-town churches and museums over two days. On the third day, take a half-day trip to the less crowded southern valley: the Inca water channels and terraces of Tipón, the Wari culture's Pikillacta ruins, and Andahuaylillas church, whose walls are covered in murals. Return to town in the afternoon to see the Qorikancha. Machu Picchu and high-altitude hikes are not included. Suited to repeat visitors and people interested in art history.
Mostly indoors, so it works in the rainy season too. Late June, around the Inti Raymi festival, is crowded.
