Waqrapukara Trek 1 Day

Waqrapukara Tour is a new tourist attraction recently promoted in Cusco, located in the province of Acomayo near the Apurímac River, at an altitude of 4,300 masl (13,123 ft), south of the city of Cusco. Waqrapukara has not yet been fully deciphered and can be considered as a fortress, a sanctuary or an astronomical observatory. Initially built by the Quinchas and later conquered by the Incas, this site offers a unique and unusual destination where visitors can enjoy spectacular landscapes, various lagoons and the abysses of the Apurímac canyon. It is an opportunity to connect with nature and feel the energy of this amazing place.
