ITINERARY
- Pick up from the hotel at 07:00 am; begin the hike by transferring to the small village of Patabamba (3,850m/12,631ft). This small Andean community is the starting point of our hike. We start hiking uphill amidst beautiful mountain scenery.
- We will climb up to the pass, which is 4,110m (13,484ft) high. As we get closer to the pass, the landscape changes dramatically into Andean Puna, with sparse plants like “ichu.” From the pass, see the Sacred Valley, the Vilcanota River, and the snow-capped mountains.
- Go down until reaching the village of Siwas at 3,900m/12,795ft and visit the ruins of Pucamarca. Then go into Leon Punku Canyon, where we will follow the remains of an Incan trail to the ruins of Huchuy Qosqo, which is 3,700m (12,139ft) away.
- We will also find the foundation of an Inca bridge inside the canyon. This canyon has geological structures encompassed by imposing rocks and boulders that guide the river. Huchuy Qosqo is an Inca archaeological complex with towering architecture and a vast open ceremonial center. The guide will explain more about this archaeological site.
