Tinta & San Lorenzo de Valleumbroso Estate Day Trip

Take a trip through time and history back to the revolution of Túpac Amaru II and an elegant stately home on our Tinta & San Lorenzo de Valleumbroso Estate Day Trip from Cusco.

Tinta & San Lorenzo de Valleumbroso Estate Day Trip

At 8 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel and set off for Tinta, a historic town located 70 miles (113 kilometers) from Cusco.

This town is known for being the site of the revolution led by Túpac Amaru II, the largest indigenous independence movement of the former viceroyalty. We'll learn about his life and visit significant locations, including his museum-house.

Additionally, we'll visit the Church of Tinta, a 17th-century building featuring a gold leaf altar and notable artworks from Diego de la Puente, Francisco Serrano, and Marcos Rivera. A stop at a local restaurant will be made for lunch at your own expense.

After lunch, we'll drive to the colonial bridge of Tinta, a semicircular arched structure built in 1740. We'll cross this viaduct and head to the Estate of the Marquis of San Lorenzo de Valleumbroso.

Upon arrival, you'll see the mansion built atop Inca walls in a colonial architectural style. This house belonged to conquistador Rodrigo de Esquivel, whose descendants are the Marquises of San Lorenzo de Valleumbroso.

We'll explore its patios, arcades, and other spaces while enjoying views of the Cusco valley. This mansion was declared a place of Cultural Heritage of the Nation in 1991 and is being restored by the National Institute of Culture of Cusco.

After the estate visit, we'll return to your hotel by 8 pm.
