Cusco Half Day Tour:
Andean Baroque Route


[layerslider_vc id="16"]

[blockquote text="3 amazing churches-not just Andahuaylillas. These three churches are a real highlight and make a great day trip from Cusco. They are spectacularly painted with amazing wall decoration and paintings. While Andahuaylillas is the most famous Huaro is just as good and the 3rd 500m beyond Huaro is simple, but also fascinating. You can do it by public transport or, if you are flying out that evening, hire a driver to visit all three and then drop you off at the airport. Don't miss!!!

Itinerary


The tour in Cusco “Ruta del Barroco Andino”; begins at 8:00AM. We leave towards the south of Cusco and, in approximately 1 hour, we arrive at the Chapel of the Virgen Purificada de Canincunca, located over a historical Wari (Pre-Incan Culture) center adjacent to the lake of Urcos.


Shortly after only a few minutes from Canincunca, we arrive at our 2nd location, the Temple of Saint John the Baptist of Huaro. In this temple, more than 60 sculptures and 50 canvases of great beauty and quality, apart from silversmith work are altarpieces and other refined furniture, can be found.


Our 3rd destination is the Saint Peter the Apostle Temple in Andahuaylillas, whose majestic artesenal majesty is reflected in the
Mudejar influenced craftsmanship. The great variety of canvases –such as those dedicated to Saint Peter the Apostle, patron saint of Andahuaylillas– and the polychrome of the ceiling and the triumphal arch which separates presbiter from the main vessel.


After the Temple visit in Andahuaylillas, we will be arriving in Cusco at approximately 12:30PM to our 4th destination, the Temple of the Society of Jesus, whose construction began in 1576 on top of the Incan Temple of Amaru Cancha. This was reconstructed after a devastating earthquake in 1650. Its interior conserves impressive major altars of cedar wood covered in layers of gold. Such is the same with the rich collection of sculptures and paintings from the School of Cusco.
