My trek to Waqra Pukara was an unforgettable journey through the heart of the Andes. The early morning pickup from Cusco was seamless, and the drive to Acomayo was filled with anticipation for the day ahead.

The traditional breakfast in Acomayo provided a taste of authentic Peruvian cuisine, fueling us for the trek ahead. The 3-hour journey to Waqra Pukara was filled with stunning vistas of the surrounding valleys, showcasing the natural beauty of the region.

Exploring the ruins of Waqra Pukara was a highlight of the day. The site’s historical significance and mystical atmosphere left a lasting impression. The lunch provided was delicious and much-needed after the trek.
