Day Trips from Cusco to Tipon - page 2

Head south from Cusco on a day trip to Tipón, an archaeological site which displays an incredible feat of Inca engineering—here, the stone water terraces still function 500 years later, meaning it offers a fascinating look at the scientific side of the empire. Tours to the site focus on seeing the sacred fountains and hydraulic systems that the Incas used to master the mountain springs, without the need to worry about navigating the high-altitude roads to get there in the first place. Instead, spend the morning wandering the quiet archaeological park or visit the nearby village for a traditional lunch, knowing that your return transportation is confirmed.
