Itinerary
The trip starts in the city of Cusco at 6 a.m. In the direction of Limatambo during the tour we will visit two beautiful and interesting archaeological centers Quillarumiyoc and Tarawasi, which were possibly used as astronomical observatories by the Incas. We will continue to the town of Chonta passing through Limatambo, here we will set up for lunch.
The adventure begins with a panoramic view of the community of Chonta located at 3,400 meters and of the Salkantay and Humantay mountains, after walking approximately an hour and a half along a beautiful path, we will finally reach the Huaco viewpoint, which is located on the margin right of the Apurimac river canyon at 3,350 meters above sea level. From the viewpoint we will have a spectacular view of the Apurímac Canyon and we will have the opportunity to appreciate the impressive flanking of the Andean condor in its natural habitat. The Condor is the largest flanking bird of prey in the world, considered a sacred bird by the Incas. With a bit of luck we will also be able to observe some birds such as Eagles, Hawks, White-tailed Deer.

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.
