Visits the following sites of interest on route and Lunch is included.

 

Andahuaylillas: "Sistine Chapel of America"

The church is of simple construction, made of thick adobe mud-brick walls, common in colonial buildings, and features a relatively modest structure: a single nave with a bell tower and a façade with two solid stone columns that stand out against the others around the main entrance.

 

While the exterior of the church looks rather humble, it is the interior, that makes this one of the most valuable jewels of the colonial art in Peru, sometimes called the "Capilla Sixtina" or "Sistine Chapel" of America.

 

Raqchi: "Temple of Wiracocha"

The Temple of Wiracocha, an enormous rectangular two-story roofed structure that measures 300 ft. by 84 ft.
