Hoogtepunten

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.

Route

  1. 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.

About Cusco

Cusco, de oude Inca-hoofdstad hoog in de Peruaanse Andes, combineert enorme stenen muren met koloniale kerken en is de poort naar Machu Picchu.

De Plaza de Armas is het hart van de stad, omlijst door de kathedraal en de jezuïetenkerk La Compañía. Inca-metselwerk is overal in het centrum bewaard gebleven, het bekendst bij de Qorikancha, de zonnetempel waarop de Spanjaarden een klooster bouwden, en in de steen met twaalf hoeken in de straat Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, de wijk van de ambachtslieden, klimt steil omhoog met werkplaatsen en cafés.

Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
