Itinerary
Day 1 Cusco – Cusipata – Santa Lucia – Waqrapukara
Early in the morning at 5:00 am we will pick you up from your hotel to start our adventure to Wakra Pukara. Then we will go on a two-hour drive to the town of Cusipata , where we will have breakfast.
Next , we will continue our journey for one hour and half of driving along an unpaved road to the trailhead in Santa Lucia town. From here we will start walking across a flat road with slight descents and ascents for about two hours toward the Waqrapukara fortress (4,300 m /14,107 ft) Observing the stunning canyon landscape and the beautiful Pomacanchi Lagoon along the way.
Once we arrive at the Waqrapukara archaeological complex , you will have time to explore the temple remains and taking photos with background of the canyon scenery. Wakra Pukara involves enigmatic pre-Inca and Inca structures, terraces, and a fascinating history.
After the guided tour of the archaeological site , we’ll enjoy a box lunch before returning to Santa Lucía.
Finally, we will begin the hike back the same way we came . We will reach the trailhead after about one hour and a half of walking. Then we will return to Cusco, arriving around 6:00 pm.
