Alternative Inca Trail

Starting in Cusco city, we head towards the archaeological site of Tambomachay, just outside of Cusco, where we start our expedition to the legendary lost city of the Incas. Passing through local communities, beautiful mountain lakes, large grassland where llamas and alpacas feed. This area is home to a wide variety of birds including Wallatas (lovebirds), partridges and lapwings, all of which are regularly spotted throughout the day. Until we reach the community of Quenko where we will spend the night. Quenko is a typical Andean village with a few hundred inhabitants, all of the farmers. This is a good opportunity to understand their lifestyle, interact with local children, and visit the houses to see how they live and what they have. You can take some gifts if you like.

Awakening in the Peruvian Andes with the most amazing views cloud be an unforgettable experience. To make it even perfect this day we will visit the Huchuy Qosqo Inca City, located on top of the sacred valley, a city that more than 500 hundred years ago was inhabited by the Incas. Now lies on top on the mountain offering us a magnificent view with buildings, sacred temples, farming terraces, storehouses, water channels, and an Inca reservoir. After exploring everything and giving time to feel the energy, power, magic, and mysteries of this places we will enjoy lunch to later head downhill to Lamay we will take a bus to Ollantaytambo, a beautiful city located in the middle of mountains with many natural and cultural history. We will have time to explore the city considered like “the last living Inca city”, “world capital of native American”, dinner will be at a local restaurant.
