The collection features intricately carved stone sculptures, ceramic vessels, and textiles that reveal insights into the daily life, beliefs, and traditions of this ancient civilization.
Travelers will also encounter unique stones with two sides, symbolizing the Andean concept of duality, which represents the balance between opposing forces such as light and dark, life and death.

Parque Arqueologico De Raqchi, San Pedro, Peru This temple, also known as the Temple of Wiracocha, was dedicated to Wiracocha, the Incan god of creation, the sun, and the earth. Located in the town of Raqchi, near Cusco, the temple is one of the most impressive and significant Incan sites in the region.
Built during the reign of the Inca emperor Huayna Capac in the 15th century, it stands as a testament to the advanced engineering and architectural skills of the Incas. The temple’s main structure, a massive central rectangular wall, is surrounded by rows of columns, and its vast open courtyards were once used for ceremonial purposes.
The temple’s size and the intricate stonework, which includes carefully shaped stones fitted without mortar, reflect the Inca’s sophisticated construction techniques. Visitors can also see the ruins of storehouses (qolqas) and living quarters, adding to the site’s rich historical context. A visit here offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious and cultural practices of the Incas. 15 minutes
San Pedro Apostol de Andahuaylillas, Andahuaylillas, Peru The San Pedro Apóstol Chapel in Andahuaylillas, often referred to as the “Sistine Chapel of the Americas”, was constructed by the Jesuits during the 16th century.
Its location atop a pre-Columbian huaca, a sacred site used by ancient Andean cultures for religious ceremonies, adds layers of cultural and spiritual depth to the building.
This blending of Inca and Christian traditions creates a distinct fusion of religious symbols and architectural styles within the chapel. The chapel is renowned for its baroque architecture, with ornate altars, intricate frescoes, and a beautifully painted ceiling that depicts scenes from the Bible and Andean mythology.
The craftsmanship and symbolism reflect the Jesuit missionaries' efforts to merge indigenous beliefs with Catholic teachings.
This convergence of cultures makes the chapel not only a religious site but also an emblem of the region’s complex history and spiritual heritage. 15 minutes

It was a pleasure for us. All was very well organized- a car from our hotel to the bus, a guide introduction (Roli) and driver (Mauro). Stops were full of history and beauty. Roli explained us not just about spots, but a history, geography and people.

Viel, durchaus interessantes, Programm in kurzer Zeit. Wenig bis keine Möglichkeit, auf eigene Entdeckungstour zu gehen. Guide hat in spanisch und englisch gut erklärt.
Leider hatten wir eine Reifenpanne.
