The trip begins leaving Cusco at 8:00 AM to reach the town of Andahuaylillas in about an hour, where the bus will make a stop to visit the chapel of San Pedro de Andahuaylillas known as the "Sistine Chapel of America", called like that for the beautiful canvases of the Cusco School of the 17th century that adorn its interior.

After admiring the beautiful chapel, the bus will continue its journey to the city of Raqchi to visit a temple built by the Inca Pachacutec, from this temple its high adobe walls that once formed part of a great hall still stand. Very close you will also be able to see several mid-rise circular buildings that due to their shape were used to store food, as well as you will be able to appreciate in this complex several squares with buildings around them, possibly used to give shelter to the soldiers.
