Top Apurimac Region Culture

Escape the crowds of Cusco and head to one of the country’s condor-spotting hot spots on a private day trip to the Chonta Canyon from Cusco. If you’re a lover of birdwatching and nature, then this tour is for you, thanks to your high chance of spotting the majestic birds of prey.

During this day we learn about the Chanka culture, conquered by the Inca after The archaeological complex of Saywite is a large granite block about eleven meters in circumference, four in diameter and almost two and a half in height, ornamented in its upper half with a series of complex and mysterious figures. The monolith contains more than two hundred phytomorphic figures, zoomorphic, of geographical features and human constructions carved in an apparent disorder and taking advantage of the reliefs and natural depressions of the stone.  Then we will visit a relaxing place the Inca Spa. Known as the thermal baths of Conoc. This spa is located at the foot of the Apurímac River, in a place surrounded by carob, carrizal and cactus. The healing properties of its waters have made Cconoc a place known for those seeking relief from diseases such as arthritis, rheumatism, muscle aches or simple relaxation. The waters of Cconoc are odorless and of pleasant saline flavor.
