40 Km - at Rumicolca, we are close to the great stone gateway of the same name which, for the Incas, silently guarded the southern approach to Cuzco (Cusco). For the much earlier Wari culture it served as an aqueduct, channeling water from the picturesque Laguna de Lucre to their walled city at Pikillacta. 45 Km - the church at Andahuaylillas is one of the jewels in Cuzco’s colonial crown and boasts a magnificent series of murals and superb colonial-era paintings, all on diverse religious themes.
