Waqrapukara Trip

We will collect you from your hotel in Cusco between 3 and 4 am and head south into the Andes, stopping at Cusipata two hours from Cusco for breakfast. Afterward, we continue our journey through landscapes, villages, and lakes, arriving at Pitumarca village after two hours.

From here, we begin an eight-kilometre hike to the archaeological site of Waqrapukara. We will visit the ancient city of the Qanchi civilization, including the Inti Punku archaeological site, known as the 'Sun Gate' and an important remnant of the Inca city. You will see its main square and turrets.

After visiting Waqrapukara, we return to Cusipata for a Peruvian buffet lunch. We will conclude the trip by returning to Cusco, arriving around 6 pm.
