Your visit to Cusco would not be complete without touring the south; among the most outstanding excursions are the following:
Tipu00f3n
It is believed that in the days of the Inca Yahuar Huaca Tipu00f3n served as a refuge during the Chanka rebellion. This place was built in his days. It features terraces, aqueducts, rooms, and water fountains.

Between these two towns there is a separation of about 4 km. What characterizes these places are their churches that house colonial frescoes inside. The church of Andahuaylillas was built in the 17th century. The temple of Huaro was also built in the 17th century.
Raqchi
It is located in the town center of San Pedro de Cacha, in the province of Sicuani. This architectural complex is one of the Inca constructions that impresses us the most. Among the structures that stand out most in Raqchi are: the temple of Wiracocha, the colcas (circular food storage structures), and the great wall.
Piquillacta
Piquillacta or ‘city of fleas’ is the most important pre-Inca archaeological site belonging to the Wari culture. It encompasses some 700 structures and a building system whose walls reach 12 m in height.
Huacarpay
The Huacarpay lagoon, located one hour southeast of Cusco on the Cusco-to-Puno highway, is an important natural wildlife refuge. Nearby, on the slopes of the hill overlooking the lake, there are remains of agricultural terraces and food storage units associated with the Kau00f1acaray archaeological site. At 500 m from the highway is Rumicolca, an ancient Wari aqueduct that was part of Piquillacta.
