Home of the Gods
Discover a mystical fusion of art, nature, and Andean mythology on this half-day tour to the Home of the Gods (Apukunaq Tianan). Just a short drive from Cusco, this unique open-air sanctuary features giant stone carvings of Inca and pre-Inca deities sculpted into the rock face, set against a dramatic highland backdrop.
Created by Peruvian artist Michael de Titán, these monumental works pay homage to sacred Andean beings such as Pachamama (Mother Earth), Wiracocha (the Creator God), and the three worlds of Inca cosmology — the condor (sky), puma (earth), and serpent (underworld).
Ideal for art lovers, photographers, families, and spiritual travelers, this tour offers time to explore the site, reflect, take photos, and enjoy panoramic views of the Cusco Valley. It’s a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path experience that combines modern vision with ancient spirituality.
