Inca Trail Trekking from Culebrillas to Ingapirca

Adventurers, join us on this trekking activity along the Inca Trail from Culebrillas to Ingapirca, one of the best-preserved routes of this ancient civilisation!

Description

After picking you up at your accommodation in Cuenca at the indicated time, we'll proceed to the starting point of the trekking route along the Inca Trail. The walk begins at the Culebrillas lagoon, known for its natural beauty. We will follow a paved path that takes us through ranches and tampus built by the Incas. The history of this path that connected Quito with Cusco will be shared during the trek.

Halfway through, we will reach a maximum elevation of 4,100 metres (13,451 feet) above sea level, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The hike concludes in the village of San José, where we can enjoy the local hospitality and have a typical lunch.

After lunch, we will visit the archaeological site of Ingapirca, regarded as one of the most significant Inca sites in Ecuador. While exploring these ruins, we will discuss the Cañari and Inca cultures.

After 10 hours of trekking along the Inca Trail, we will return to your hotel in Cuenca.
