Home of the Gods

The Home of the Gods is an artistic sanctuary where nature and the Andean spirit come together to honor the Apus, the protective mountains of the Quechua world. Here you will see monumental sculptures carved directly into living rock, representing deities, guardians, and mythical beings that connect visitors with the Andean worldview. Located just 40 minutes from the city, this tour is ideal for those seeking a new, cultural, photographic, and deeply symbolic experience.

Our Home of the Gods Tour offers a unique experience where you can walk natural trails, admire large-scale sculptures and enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the Cusco valley. Accompanied by a professional guide, you'll learn the meaning behind each work and the importance of Inca culture in Peru's identity. If you're looking for something to do in Cusco, a half-day tour, a cultural experience or an excursion before visiting Machu Picchu, this tour combines history, scenery and tradition in an unforgettable visit.

Itinerary

Day 1: Excursion to the Home of the Gods (Half Day)

This tour begins with hotel pickup, either in the morning (9:00 a.m.) or in the afternoon (1:00 p.m.), heading toward the highlands of Cusco, taking in beautiful Andean landscapes and traditional communities during the ascent. Upon arriving at the Dwelling of the Gods – Apukunaq Tianan, the guide will give an introduction to the Andean worldview and the symbolism of each of the monumental sculptures, works by Cusco artist Michael de Titan carved directly into living rock: the Mountain Apu, the Pachamama, the Puma, the Lord of Time, the Andean Portal, and the Face of the Andes.

You will then have free time to explore the complex, take photographs, and connect with the energy of the place. Finally, we will begin the return to the city of Cusco; the complete visit has an approximate duration of 2 hours and ends by dropping you off at your hotel or in the historic center.
