Description

Begin your adventure with a morning pickup from your hotel in Cusco. Travel through the Andes to the Sacred Valley and continue to the community of Cachiccata, where your hiking adventure begins.

As you gradually ascend, admire the surrounding mountains, agricultural terraces, and rural landscapes. The trail offers a peaceful experience away from the busiest tourist routes and provides several opportunities to stop, rest, and take photographs.
