WAQRAPUKARA TOUR

In the morning, we will pick you up from your accommodation at approximately 4:00 – 4:30 am. If your hotel or hostel is not located in the city center, we will pick you up from the doorway of our office building. Once the whole group is gathered, around 4:450 am, we will start our journey in our private transportation.We will then have a one hour and half van journey to the town of Cusipata, where we will have our buffet breakfast.

After this will continue drive for 30 minutes until we will get the village of Pitumarca or Sangara. We will then have 30 more minutes of driving along a zig-zagging, unpaved road, until we reach Punta Carretera. Here, we will have ten minutes to stretch, organize our things, and make any final preparations for our trek. We will walk across gently rolling terrain for about two hours, observing gorgeous landscapes studded with small glacial lakes along the way.

Once we arrive at the WaqraPukara Overlook, we will pause briefly to take our first photos of this incredible fortress perched on the edge of a canyon. We will then descend for about forty minutes along a steep, cliffside path into the site itself, while the Apurimac River runs swiftly below. You will have box lunch before continuing exploring the inca site of WaqraPukara
We will explore the ruins for approximately an hour, climbing through the remains of the temple, taking photos against the incredible canyon scenery, and resting on clifftops in the shadows of the stone walls. When the group is ready, we will begin the ascent back the way we came. We will reach the car after about three hours of trekking, and return to Cusco at approximately 7:00 pm
