Looking for an exciting day adventure near Cusco? Join Salkantay Trekkers Peru on the Morada de los Dioses 1 Day Tour! Also known as Apukunaq Tianan, this site features amazing stone sculptures carved by the local artist Michel de Titan Angulo. These impressive statues range from 4 to 8 meters high and are dedicated to Inca gods like Pachamama, the Puma, and the Three-Dimensional Gate.
Morada de los Dioses is located 8 kilometers from the city of Cusco, in the Poroy district within the Sencca community. This beautiful site sits at an altitude of 3,850 meters above sea level.
You can reach Morada de los Dioses by taking a public bus from downtown Cusco. Look for the bus company Santiago Xpress. The ride takes about 40 minutes and costs S/ 1. Get off at the end of the route and then take a collective taxi to the attraction.
For a more thrilling experience, choose to visit by ATV. Salkantay Trekkers Peru will pick you up from your hotel and take you to the Titicaca Arch control point. From there, you can choose your ATV and enjoy a ride that lasts less than 30 minutes.
Create your own adventure with Salkantay Trekkers Peru! We’ll pick you up from your hotel, take you to Morada de los Dioses, and provide a guide who will explain each sculpture. You’ll have plenty of time to take photos before we drop you back at your hotel in Cusco with our comfortable tourist transportation.
On our Morada de los Dioses tour, you’ll explore representations of Inca gods and mythical figures. Here’s a closer look at each highlight:
Pachamama means Mother Earth in Inca times. She was responsible for giving the best crops to the Inca people. You’ll see a huge face carved into a stone mountain, which is the first thing you’ll notice on the tour.
The Puma is one of the most impressive statues you’ll see. This big cat was very important in Inca history and was part of many Inca traditions.
These three-dimensional gates are popular around the world, and in Cusco, our artist Michel de Titan Monteagudo Mejía created one almost 3 meters high. Above it, you’ll see the Sun with the face of an Inca emperor in the center, wearing a crown of three sacred coca leaves.
From the Viewpoint, you’ll enjoy a panoramic view of the beautiful landscape in this area. It’s a perfect spot for taking stunning photos!
