Following the Hidden route of the Inca:
The “Pampas de Anta”, before called “Valle de Jaquijaguana” during the colonial times, is a completely flat valley located in the Anta province at about 50 minutes north from Cusco. Some of the most important places such as archaeological sites and Colonial Churches are located around the flat valley, all of them are barely visited by tourists because of the poor promotion from the public and private companies to the place. However, that does not mean that those places are stunning in architecture and engineering ahead of their time. The place has a heavy historical meaning to Cusco because some of the first civilizations of the Cusco valley came from there, and also because of the definitive battle between the Chankas and the Inkas, allowing the last ones to become the greatest and largest civilization in America.

What are the benefits of doing a private tour?
One of the main reasons why the private option is sought after is because you do not need to worry about which dates we have departures set for. In addition to the convenience and flexibility in booking, the private option provides a more personal trip experience for your group. We will pick you up and drop you off at your hotel….The guide will focus all of his energy and attention on your group.
