Additional Information

Waqrapukara Adventure: Stray from the beaten track in Cusco and take on this full-day journey to the imperial marvel known as Waqrapukara; a term that translates as ‘horn’ (Waqra) and ‘watch-tower’ (Pukara) in the Quechua language, signifying its historic purpose as a horn-shaped Military Outpost during the Inca era, situated atop a towering mountain at an altitude of 4,300 m above sea level.

We’ll commence your adventure early, initiating pick-up services from your hotel at approximately 4:30 am and chauffeuring you southeast of Cusco for a 3-hour drive. Our destination: a quaint settlement known as Chuquicahuana, where you can begin your day with a local breakfast.

Following that, our journey continues as we drive towards another small hamlet known as Rinconada. From here, the adventure truly begins - as we ascend on foot for an estimated 2.5 hours until we reach the historic Waqrapukara archaeological site where a thrilling experience awaits you.
