Itinerário

1. The hike begins at the Ollantaytambo plaza, from where we will head towards the Inca bridge, which is located at the entrance to Ollantaytambo, before the rock climb. The first part of the hike is easy, although there are some small climbs, as we will reach the top of one of the mountains surrounding Ollantaytambo. During the hike, we will be able to observe the entire territory of Ollantaytambo and its Inca buildings, as well as, during the first part of the hike, the Urubamba River, which will be our constant companion. The hike to Inti Punku in Ollantaytambo is 8.5 kilometers and covers an elevation gain of almost 1,200 meters. Therefore, we must be in good physical condition and have previously acclimatized to avoid altitude sickness.

2. After completing more than half the hike (6 kilometers), we will reach the Cachiqata stone quarries, where the ancient inhabitants of the Tahuantinsuyu Empire collected materials for their impressive Inca buildings and temples. From here, we will see certain buildings and objects that were left unfinished. It is an ideal place to take a break, as well as explore the area to discover all its mysteries.

3. The hike from the Cachiqata quarries to Inti Punku takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes, with a steady climb. One kilometer from the finish, you can see the Inti Punku structure, which provides extra motivation. Along the way, you also pass the Inti Punku camp, where many choose to spend the night to watch the sunrise from the Sun Gate. Upon arrival, the well-maintained structure and the views of Mount Verónica and the landscape at almost 3,900 meters above sea level offer a magical experience. It's an ideal place to admire the Inca buildings and take unforgettable photographs. It's recommended to bring water and snacks. The return journey follows the same path we took up, and thanks to the constant descent, the journey time can exceed three hours. On the way down, we can see another angle of the hike, along with all the flora that adorns the path.

About Cusco

Cusco, antiga capital inca nos Andes peruanos, combina imponentes muros de pedra e igrejas coloniais e é a porta de entrada para Machu Picchu.

A Plaza de Armas é o coração da cidade, enquadrada pela catedral e pela igreja jesuíta da Companhia. A cantaria inca sobrevive por todo o centro, mais famosa no Qorikancha, o templo do sol sobre o qual os espanhóis construíram um convento, e na pedra de doze ângulos da rua Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, o bairro dos artesãos, sobe a pique entre oficinas e cafés.
