factsheet
 
ITINERARY
This incredible trek to the last outpost of the Incas is an unforgettable experience. For forty years this region of cloud forest was a refuge and natural fortress for the Inca's resistance in the sixteenth century, keeping Tahuantinsuyo safe from the Spanish invasion. The trek is strenuous but it is really the inaccessibility what makes this trek hard. Another unique feature of this trek over other treks around Cuzco is that it is mainly through rainforest and cloud-forest terrain so there are no concerns regarding high altitude. Horses are available to assist in the trek.

Day 1: Cuzco - Chaullay - Wankakalli
Pick up from your hotel and transfer by private bus until Wankakalli, passing through Ollantaytambo, the Malaga mountain pass (4200m), before entering into the valley of Huyro and Maranura. Then from the location of Chaullay we head towards Wankakalli where we will arrive in the afternoon. Camping.

Day 2: Wankakalli - Vitcos - Ñusta Hisp´anan - Qollpaq'asa
Today we undertake the walk towards the archaeological centre of Rosaspata or Vitcos, From the domain of the hill Pucyura, as well as from the snowy Pumasillo peak, we can appreciate the Ñusta Hisp'anan stone. In both places, we enjoy a panoramic view of the landscape. We carry on towards Qollpaq'asa before arriving to our next camp.
