About the tour

In the district of Acos, in the province of Acomayo, lies the fortress known as Waqrapukara, which has a horn-like shape. This site offers stunning Andean landscapes, as well as rich flora and fauna. During the tour, you will embark on a hike that allows you to enjoy breathtaking views of mountains and rock formations.

This area was originally inhabited by the Canchis culture and later conquered by the Incas.

The tour will begin with a hotel pickup between 4:30 and 5:00 a.m. Once everyone is gathered, we will embark on a 3-hour journey in a tourist vehicle to the village of Santa Lucía, with a stop in Cusipata to enjoy breakfast before continuing our trip.

In Santa Lucía, we will take a detour and travel for about 15 minutes along a zigzag road until we reach Punta Carretera. There, we will have about 10 minutes to make final preparations before beginning our hike to Waqrapukara. The uphill hike will take approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, covering around 2.5 kilometers.

Upon arrival at Waqrapukara, the guide will explain the significance of this archaeological complex. Afterward, you will have free time to explore the site and take photographs. Once the visit is complete, we will enjoy a delicious box lunch.

Then, we will return along the same path to Punta Carretera, where our transport will take us back to Cusco, arriving at approximately 6:00 p.m.
