The South Valley Tour 1 Day

PROGRAM DETAILS

Tour Dates: Year round
South of Cusco was a very important place for the development of the inka Empire.
The people of this area called the Marcavalle were the first people in Cusco 1000 years before the birth of Christ. The people who now occupy the area of San Geronimo have helped the area hugely in the development of hydraulic engineering. Here, just south of Cusco, you will see many inka archaeological sites.
