Detailed Itinerary

ITINERARY: South Valley Tour

We will pick you up from your hotel at 08:30 hrs to have a guided tour in the south valley where you can visit the following places:

  • Tipon: A large impressive growing space containing 12 terraces that are currently cultivated, whose walls were built with finely carved stones. Even more impressive is the irrigation system that is still serving agriculture and the advantage is the water intake in the spring season.
