🗿 The 4 Stops: Stone Sculptures, Goblins and a Forest of Ents
The route links four sites created by human hands, with sculptures carved in stone and wood that blend into the landscape. None of them is an Inca site: they are recent art and conservation projects, which is why they pair well with a Machu Picchu day or a visit to the historic center.
Abode of the Gods (Apukunaq Tianan)
A recent set of lithic monuments built on virgin land. The story goes that some workers saw mythical beings called mukis, or goblins, during construction, and that they asked to be part of the project as a form of worship to the Pachamama. It is the best-known stop and the most photographed. Admission: S/15 for foreigners, S/10 for Peruvians.
Valley of the Goblins
This stop stands out for its stone sculptures and the little goblins hidden among the rocks and the chinkanas (natural caves and passages). It’s compact, ideal for a slow walk and photos. Admission: S/5.
Huasao Wetland
A theme park built on a wetland that was recovered, with a lake, trees, and a variety of species to spot along the way. According to Andina’s coverage of the Huasao wetland, the area was polluted by sewage until local authorities and residents of the Oropesa district restored it.
Forest of the Ents
Located in San José de Turpo, a few kilometers from Cusco, it is inspired by the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, such as The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Its natural sculptures are made from roots and recreate fantastic figures. Admission: S/6, which the tour page says covers the Huasao Wetland and the Ents.
🗓️ How the Mystic Tour in Cusco Works, Step by Step
- Hotel pickup (9:40 to 10:00 a.m.): your professional guide collects you in the tourist van. Have your hotel name and ID ready.
- 20-minute drive to the first stop: the route starts with a short ride out of the city while your guide sets the context for each site.
- Abode of the Gods and Valley of the Goblins: a guided visit among stone sculptures, with time for photos and the legend of the mukis.
- Huasao Wetland and Forest of the Ents: a walk through the recovered wetland and the forest of root sculptures.
- Back in Cusco: the excursion ends near the main square, steps from restaurants and your next plan.
⚖️ Mystic Tour vs ATV Tour vs City Tour: Which to Choose
Turismo Liberty runs several short excursions from Cusco. This comparison helps you choose by time and budget:
| Aspect | Mystic Tour | ATV to the Abode of the Gods | Cusco City Tour |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price from | $20 | $33 | $19 |
| Duration | 8 hours | 5 hours | 3 hours |
| Level | Easy | Easy | Easy |
| What you see | Four sculpture sites | The Abode of the Gods, by quad bike | Historic center and nearby Inca sites |
If you prefer adrenaline and riding your own machine, take a look at the ATV tour to the Abode of the Gods. If it’s your first day and you want the historic center, the Cusco City Tour is the shortest option.
🌤️ When to Go: Best Time for the Cusco Sculpture Tour
| Months | What to expect | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|

🎒 What to Pack for the Sculpture Tour
- Warm clothing — Cusco sits at 3,399 m and mornings can be cool.
- Rain poncho — essential in the rainy season.
- Sunscreen and sunglasses — the sun burns faster at this altitude.
- Water — food is not included, so bring a snack too.
- Cash in soles — to pay the site admissions.
- Camera or phone with battery — this excursion is built for photos.
If you’re building several days in the city, pair this excursion with the Southern Valley and Cielo Punku viewpoint tour or the Maras, Moray and Chinchero viewpoint tour. And if Machu Picchu is the main event, check the Machu Picchu Full Day, which needs to be booked further ahead.
