Complejo Arqueologico WaqrapukaraBegin a 1.5-hour uphill trek through spectacular Andean landscapes. Along the way, take in panoramic views of the Apurímac Canyon, observe native flora and fauna, and reach the Waqrapukara viewpoint — a stunning lookout over the canyon’s dramatic cliffs and the mighty river below. After a boxed lunch with a view, explore the archaeological site of Waqrapukara for around 90 minutes. Learn about its Inca and pre-Inca significance, horn-shaped formations, and sacred architecture.
- After soaking in the wonders of Waqrapukara, begin your 90-minute descent back to the trailhead. Then relax in private transport for a comfortable return trip to Cusco. As the sun dips behind the mountains, reflect on an unforgettable day immersed in nature, history, and Andean heritage. Arrival in Cusco is estimated around 6:00–7:00 p.m. (pass by)
