Highlights
Despite receiving less attention than its more popular northern counterpart, Cusco’s southern valley contains its very own array of wondrous and impressive attractions. This end of the valley is irrigated by the Willkamayu River, which means sacred river in Quechua. Today, the river is better known as the Vilcanota or Urubamba, a powerful waterway that eventually turns into the Ucayali River, before travelling down into the jungle and giving way to the great Amazon River. The waters of this sacred river come from the Vilcanota Mountain range, some of the mountains in Peru that receive the most snow, and reach a maximum height of 6,372 meters above sea level with the revered Ausangate Mountain.

Ablauf
We will begin our journey early in the morning toward the Community of Palccoyo, located southeast of Cusco. Along the way, we’ll observe the evolution of the road system through three bridges: the Inca (15th century), the Colonial (17th–18th centuries), and the Modern (from 1895, made of railway lines). After a short stop for breakfast, we’ll arrive at Huallatakunka and start our hike. Just a few meters in, we’ll see the first of several colorful mountains, similar to the famous Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) but closer and more accessible. We’ll enjoy stunning views from three viewpoints, including sights of three rainbow mountains at once and a panoramic view of both Ausangate Mountain and the Vilcanota range. After the hike, we’ll travel to the district of Quehue in the Canas province to visit Q’eswachaka, the last Inca bridge. This handmade suspension bridge, rebuilt annually through a four-day ritual by local communities, spans 28 meters across the Apurímac River.

Die Plaza de Armas ist das Herz der Stadt, umrahmt von der Kathedrale und der Jesuitenkirche La Compañía. Inka-Mauerwerk ist im ganzen Zentrum erhalten, am berühmtesten im Qorikancha, dem Sonnentempel, auf dem die Spanier ein Kloster errichteten, und im zwölfeckigen Stein in der Straße Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, das Handwerkerviertel, steigt steil an, mit Werkstätten und Cafés.
