ITINERARY
Day 1: Cusco - Quiquijana - Waqrapukara - Cusco

Very early, around 3.30 am, we will pick you up from your hotel to drive you to the starting point of our hike. After hiking for 2,5 hours, we will reach the start of the circuit of the four Acomayo lagoons. We continue walking for 30 more minutes to the Laguna Qenterococha (4,330 meters/14,138 feet) where we will have a delicious breakfast. After that, we will begin our walk towards the Waqrapukara complex. Along the way, we will be able to observe the flora and fauna of the area. Once we reach the first Waqrapukara viewpoint, we will take a short break and then continue until we arrive at Waqrapukara. We will explore the archaeological center with our guide and then you will have free time to explore on your own. Then, we will start walking back. But we will take a different easier path that has different views of the Apurimac Canyon. We will return to the beginning of the trail at around 1:40 p.m., where our private transportation will be awaiting us. Before getting on the bus, we will have a buffet lunch. We will return to Cusco around 7:00 pm.

Travelers who want to take part in this tour to the Waqrapukara must be in good physical condition and well acclimatized to the altitude!
