ITINERARY
​​
We will leave by car from your hotel on our way to the district of Chinchero. The journey will take 1.10 hours. From a privileged place, we will see the entire archaeological complex and we will tour the place to know the deep relationship between man and nature through the natural altars carved on the rock. We will continue feeling nature, but this time from the Inca trail that crosses a ravine and descends to the PocPoc waterfalls to refresh us and contemplate the harmony of the landscape. Then we will continue our journey to Urquillos, where the Inca residence of Mateo Pumacahua is located; a descendant of the Inca nobility, who participated in the rebellion against the Spanish crown before the independence of Peru. The hike lasts a total of about 3 hours and from there, our transport is waiting to take us back to Cusco.
