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 just 70 miles (113 kilometres) away from Cusco.

This town is known for being the scene 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 symbolic places, including his museum-house.

Additionally, we'll visit the Church of Tinta, a 17th-century building featuring a gold leaf altar and works of art, including altarpieces by Diego de la Puente, Francisco Serrano, and Marcos Rivera. Before continuing, we'll stop at a local restaurant for lunch.

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

Upon arrival, you'll see this stately mansion, built upon Inca walls in a colonial architectural style. This house belonged to conquistador Rodrigo de Esquivel.

We'll explore its patios, arcades, and other spaces while enjoying views of the Cusco valley. The mansion was declared a place of Cultural Heritage of the Nation in 1991 and is currently under restoration.

We will return to your hotel by 8 pm.
