CUSCO – SOUTH –VALLEY
  • Departure: 8:30AM.
  • Duration: All day.
  • Location: Cusco
  • Season: All year.

Description:

The south area of Cusco played a very important role on the development of the great Inca state. This started with the emigration towards the south (Peruvina altiplano) which made possible the occupation of the valley of Cusco, the first inhabitants were the Marcavalles who are considered as the oldest human civilization (1000 B.C) and who occupied the area of the same name, the Omas occupied the district of San Jeronimo and the Wari-Chankas, who left great developments on irrigation, urban planns and andens making. This developments can be seen in two archeological places.


Raqchi:

Tipon which has a great range of Andens and Irrigation Channels, this shows that this was a place destined to the Agriculture research.

Pikillacta which is quite amazing for its straight roads, two story-buildings and even ten-metre-high walls. This remains can tell us a lot of the ancient pre-inka cultures.

Art also outstands in the South Valley, that's how in Andahuaylillas we can find a beautiful little church built on colonial times which owns wonderful paintings and precious portraits. The outside as well as the inside is all painted with different images.

Tipon:

It comes from the the Quechua word T'impuy which means: where the water boils, due to the number of underground springs. The word Tipon is not right pronounced. Located on the valley of the same name, in the community of Choquepata, district of Oropesa, province of Quispicanchis, department of Cusco.

Scientists suggest that this archaeological area was built during the final period of the government of Yawar Wakaj and it was completed during the period of Wiracocha, but looking at the arquitectural style and the characteristics of the the construction they are more inclined towards the period of Pachakuti.

Pikillaqta:

Piki means: flea, and Llaqta means: city, town. It doesn't explins the existance of parasites though, it was called like that because of the ammount of people that live there. It is located beside the Watanay river , on the land of the Muyna lagoon mostly known as Huacarpay.

Pikillacta is decorated with walls higher than 10 m and 1 .20 m wide, built in stone and clay. In Inka times it was used as a check point before getting into Collasuyo.
