“Embark on the Mystery Route in Cusco: a magical journey filled with legends, nature, and unique landscapes. On an unforgettable day, Discover Morada de los dioses Incas, the Valley of the Elves, the Huasao Wetlands, and the Forest of the Ents. Adventure awaits!”

Day 1: The mistery road

Dare to explore the Mystery Route in Cusco! From the awe-inspiring stone carvings of the Abode of the Gods to the enchanting Valley of the Elves, this experience invites you to connect with living legends and mystical landscapes of the Andes.

Enjoy the serene Huasao Wetlands and be amazed by the magical Forest of the Ents — all in one unforgettable day filled with mystery, art, and nature.

We begin around 9:50 A.M., and to recharge your energy, you’ll enjoy a delicious traditional chicharrón (crispy pork dish).
We end around 6:00 P.M. with unforgettable memories and a renewed spiritual connection to the Andean world.

VISIT:

Mystery Route of Cusco – Discover four mystical destinations in one day:

  • The Abode of the Gods (Apukunaq Tianan)
  • The Valley of the Elves
  • The Huasao Wetlands
  • The Forest of the Ents

1. ABODE OF THE GODS (Apukunaq Tianan)

We begin our adventure at this impressive site, a stunning collection of sculptures carved directly into stone.
Some reach up to 8 meters (26 feet) tall, honoring key deities and sacred symbols of the Andean worldview.
It’s a spiritual and artistic space where myth, stone, and nature become one — perfect for photography and reflection.

2. VALLEY OF THE ELVES

Next, we continue to this magical open-air art park, inaugurated in 2021.
Here you’ll encounter:

  • Enchanting elf sculptures
  • The mystical Huanac Bell
  • Intricate Andean figures carved in stone

This is a place filled with fantasy, creativity, and folklore — ideal for photos and connecting with local artistic traditions.

3. HUASAO WETLANDS

We then visit the Huasao Ecological Park, located in the district of Oropeza.
Amid its lagoons and lush green areas, you’ll find massive sculptures inspired by mythology and fantasy — from Andean gods to iconic film characters.
It’s a tranquil natural haven, perfect for relaxation, fresh air, and reconnecting with the earth.

4. FOREST OF THE ENTS

Finally, we explore the magical Forest of the Ents, located within the same ecological park.
Here, wooden sculptures inspired by Tolkien’s universe seem to come alive among the trees.
You’ll meet:

  • Gandalf the Grey, the forest’s wise protector
  • Gollum, hiding among the roots
  • Ent Trees with expressive faces and gestures
  • Mythical creatures blending with nature

This space promotes ecological awareness, sustainable art, and respect for the environment — a perfect ending to a day of discovery and wonder.

After our final stop, we’ll board our private transport back to the city, arriving around 6:00 P.M. at Plaza Regocijo, just one block from Cusco’s Main Square.
