Day Trip Details

We'll pick you up at your hotel at the indicated time to cross the Sacred Valley of the Incas. We'll travel part of the Abra Málaga Route, observing peaks that reach a towering 4,316 meters high, before descending through the Lucumayo Valley.

Then, we'll arrive in Huancacalle, where we'll take a break for you to have breakfast on your own. Afterward, we'll begin a hike to Vitcos, also called Rosaspata. This archaeological complex, together with Hatun Vilcabamba and Espíritu Pampa, were the bastions of the Inca resistance in the 16th century.

During the tour, we'll reveal the history of the four Incas of Vilcabamba and their significance in the Inca resistance.

We'll tour the fortresses and funerary monuments of Vitcos, comprising three sectors: the main square, ceremonial monuments, and the Ñusta Hispana. The Wanca, believed to have energy properties, is located here. We'll also see the "White Rock," a sacred stone with representations of the Inca Cross or Chakana.

After exploring Vitcos, we'll start our journey back. On the way, we'll pass through the town of Lucma to view the colonial Baroque-style church of San Pedro and San Pablo and its murals. After a stop for lunch on your own, we'll arrive at your hotel 17 hours later.
