The “Gods’ Dwelling” (Apukunaq Tiana) is an impressive work by Cusqueñan sculptor Michel de Titan Monteagudo Mejía, who carved monumental figures up to 8 meters (26 feet) tall to honor the Andean deities: the puma, serpent, condor, and Pachamama.

This tour combines the thrill of riding ATVs with a spiritual and cultural journey through stone-carved sculptures and scenic viewpoints. It’s ideal for those seeking a different experience full of adrenaline, history, and connection with nature.

We offer daily departures every hour between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM.
