What do you visit on the Abode of the Gods 3-hour tour?
During the Abode of the Gods 3-hour tour, you will visit Apukunaq Tianan, a place known for its large sculptures inspired by characters and elements of the Andean worldview. The guide accompanies the tour, explaining the context and meaning of the works, while also allowing time to observe them and take photographs.

Is it difficult to walk during the Abode of the Gods 3-hour tour?

💡 Get In Peru Expert Tip: Take general photographs first and leave portraits next to the sculptures for your free time. This way, you will avoid separating from the guide during the main explanations.

Can I do the Abode of the Gods 3-hour tour on the same day as another activity in Cusco?
