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 go to the starting point of this trekking route along the Inca Trail. The walk begins at the Culebrillas lagoon, known for its natural beauty. From there, we'll walk along a paved path through Inca-built ranches and tampus. We will discuss the history of this path that once connected Quito with Cusco.

Halfway through the hike, we'll reach a maximum elevation of 4,100 metres (13,451 feet) above sea level, providing impressive panoramic views of the mountains. At the end of the route, we will arrive at the village of San José, where we can enjoy a typical lunch and take a break with the locals.

After re-energizing, we will visit the archaeological site of Ingapirca, one of the most important Inca sites in Ecuador. Here, we will share insights about the Cañari and Inca cultures.

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