ITINERARY

​

We will depart from the lodge and arrive by vehicle to the Qoriqocha lagoon located at 4,100 meters above sea level, where we will begin our tour on electric mountain bikes. We will ride between slight ups and downs, passing by the lagoon and herds of llamas and alpacas in the middle of a remote and unique landscape.

 

We have a dirt road to cover but wide enough to allow cars or trucks to pass through, with some irregular parts and loose stone segments. After the first hour of pedaling, a descent begins and we pass through a peasant community called Q'enqo. Once there, a progressive ascent of almost half an hour awaits us, until we reach a natural viewpoint from where we can see the Vilcanota snow-capped mountain range, as well as the sacred valley in the depth.

​

The last part of the tour includes a descent to the valley of approximately one hour to Qoya district located next to the Urubamba River, where our walk ends.
