Description

Description

We start the tour early in the morning to head from Cusco to Cusipata where you can have breakfast. Then you will continue along the route to Santa Lucía for approximately 2 hours until you reach the point where the Waqrapukara Trekking will begin, an uphill walk that lasts approximately 1 hour. Once there, the guide will explain the importance of this archaeological complex from the Inca period. You will also have the opportunity to walk around the place to learn about its history, take photographs and marvel at its privileged view from above. Then you will return to the vehicle that will take you back to Cusipata, where you can have lunch before returning to Cusco.
