Itinerary
We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at 5:30 a.m. The trip to Palccoyo takes approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes to our first stop in Combapata for breakfast. Upon reaching the Palccoyo Pass, we will hike uphill for approximately 50 minutes. Here, you will participate in a coca leaf ritual, meant to connect with Mother Earth and engage in dialogue. You will experience spectacular panoramic views of the three peaks of Palccoyo's Rainbow Mountain, as well as the highest mountain in the Cusco region (Ausangate). We will spend approximately one hour enjoying the breathtaking view. Then, we will return to our transportation to head to Checacupe, where we will visit its impressive colonial bridge (here we will spend 30 minutes exploring the area). Afterward, we will have time to enjoy a delicious lunch prepared by the locals. We will then take our private transportation back to Cusco (approximately a 3-hour drive). We will be back in Cusco around 5:00 p.m.

About Cusco
Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.
The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
