About
The Andean Baroque Route is located along the road from Cusco to Puno, where you will visit the main churches of that time, which are still frequented by locals, as the temple of the Company of Jesus. However, the most impressive church is in Andahuaylillas, and is known as the Sistine Chapel of America because of the stunning art on its walls and ceilings, sculptures and retablos. In addition, you will discover two wonders of the 17th century, the church of Huaro with its magnificent altarpieces, murals and paintings showing scenes of life after death; and the Canincunca Chapel, facing the mysterious Lake Urcos, built on prehispanic ruins. Its murals reflect Andean textile designs and the bond between the Pachamama, linked to the productivity of crops and animals, and the Virgin Mary, protector of the human race. This visit will allow you to learn more about the various ways the Spaniards tried to introduce the natives to a new world of religious beliefs.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Robert S0 contributionsCusco City TourMartin was an amazing guide. His knowledge of Cusco and all the sites was tremendous. I would definitely recommend him for this tour.Written September 24, 2024
- E2256PWmh0 contributionsPachamama is everythingDespite booking the Cusco city tour? We weren’t quite sure what we’d see. We had a great guide. We saw mostly Inka sites and saw the impact on these by the Spanish occupation. We had time to enjoy the sites and understand what they were all for - wonderful.Written August 16, 2024
- BruceD6620 contributionsHenry Luis Renteria Tour Guide Extraordinaire!Through Lima Tours were we had Henry Luis Renteria, who was absolutely the BEST guide. Not only was his knowledge of Cusco and Inca history limitless, he brought a true passion to his subject. He also somehow was able to make last changes in our schedule involving Machu Picchu, Huayna Picchu, Rainbow Mountain and train schedule, that were above and beyond the call of duty, or the capability of ordinary tour guides! He helped carry my pack up Huayna Picchu and made arrangements with another excellent guide for us named Saul for Rainbow Mountain. This guy made our trip over the top exceptional!Written August 7, 2024
- guillermoc5100 contributionsBest vacation.This has been the best planed vacation that I have ever experienced with a travel agency. I purchased this package with Hectours from Puerto Rico and they coordinated with Lima Tours in Peru. The level of professionalism since the moment that I booked this trip, the drivers that picked us up, the guides, the WhatsApp constant follow up and attention. Everything was excellent. The hotels and the places that we visited were awesome. Even when our plane and train got delayed the drivers were constantly connecting with us and letting us know not to worry that someone would be there waiting for us was a lot of comfort. Great job! My only comment is that this was a very busy and tight schedule which requires at least a day of rest every three days and should be recommended by the travel agent. Nevertheless this vacation was great.Written June 28, 2024
- Cathy3820 contributionsA good insight into Cusco and the Surrounding area.The trip was varied as it visited local archaeological sites as well as buildings within Cusco itself. The guide was informative and took time to explain the history and local customs. The driver was very polite. We also visited a local craft centre and were able to feed Llamas and Alpacas - it was nice to see these roaming around the grounds rather that enclosed in pens.Written June 1, 2024
- F4639JBmegant0 contributionsUnresponsiveThe Lima Tours representatives have been unresponsive via email and their listed whats app number,l when requesting modification to my reservation. I am hoping this review will encourage them to reach back to me.Written May 12, 2024
- Luis A D0 contributionsSacred ValleyThis tour gives you a good perspective of the main attractions in the sacred valley! The staff explained in good detail the different locations! Well rounded tour!Written January 7, 2024
- 736lizt0 contributionsVacationing in PeruOur guide and driver were friendly, knowledgable & on-time. We all enjoyed this tour very much and highly recommend LimaTours.Written October 17, 2023
- Andy F0 contributionsGreat way to see the key sites of CuscoExcellent tour. Our guide Freddy was excellent. He told us enough about the sites we visited without so much detail that we were overwhelmed with information. The Inca sites are a must whilst in Cusco. The cathedral doesn’t look much from the outside but is a big wow inside. Great tripWritten October 14, 2023
- nuriatc20230 contributionsNot the right guide.The guide didn't try to make it interesting. He was boring, slow, and didn't organize the timetable properly. We missed almost all the places worthwhile seeing in Cusco city center. He was more eager to take us to a shopping center not planned in the visit than to explain the nice buildings in Cusco to us. Very disappointing.Written July 19, 2023
- IsabelF3120 contributionsInteresting but Too LongIt was a very long tour. It took over 5 hours to visit all the sites. Our guide was knowledgeable but clueless about the lack of interest of our group on his detailed explanations at the cathedral which was our last stop. He also was kind of repetitive in our previous stops. For me this tour would have been much better if the cathedral would not have been included and just cover the Inka fortifications and temples. The temples themselves were amazing to visit. Really great viewsWritten June 12, 2023
- atisb0 contributionsSurreal experience near ollantaytamboWe came here after a visit to the archeological site at Ollantaytambo. It was fixed by our tour company. We had nice lunch with excellent folk music. We didn’t expect it would be so nice experience. The musicians were delivering the authentic music from the high valley and possibly Inka culture. Overall it was a nice experience at Ollantaytambo.Written February 22, 2023
- pill_wen0 contributionsInka Grill is just superbMy husband and I toured Peru for my 40th birthday in Sep 2019. We were starved after a full day tour so decided to grab a quick bite at the Inka Grill restaurant in the Cusco Main Square. One of the beef dishes caught my eye so I decided to give it a whirl and oh my word was I impressed :) The 'Lomo Saltado' is a combination of beef stir fry with vegetables, white rice and chips; coming from South Africa where the braai/barbequeing of red meat is akin to a national pastime, the beef was the most perfectly cooked I have tasted even till today. Everything on the plate was well flavoured, the gravy was divine. It was so good that we went there a second time and I ordered the same meal, another gentleman on our tour ordered the same and was just as impressed. Inka Grill, keep being superb!Written January 9, 2023
- IdaJ760 contributionsReal authentic Peruvian foodI really enjoyed my lunch here. The owner warned me beforehand: no pizza here. And that was not what I was there for-I was after real Peruvian food, which was exactly what I got. I got the best food ever, an entre (soup) and a delicious chichen stew. All made with really fresh ingredients, no canned food or food additives. I liked that they offered two sauces, so I could adjust the flavor to my liking. Plus a coffee to cure my tiredness and a very tasty lemonade. The restaurant itself had a great ambiance, decorated with local products, it was a place you could relax and fully enjoy your meal. I went by myself, and had a great time, did not feel weird. I enjoyed how swift the food was served; no extra waiting. The waitress was nice and really attentive. I enjoyed the food so much that I got soup as take away for supper this day and the next. Their take away service was also great.Written November 28, 2022
- scottiebopeep0 contributionsGreat last meal in CuscoWe tried the Guinea pig. It was well prepared, not shaped like a Guinea pig like other restaurants, so if you want that, get something else(everything we had was fantastic) . Great service! Shout out to Hebert!Written October 3, 2022
