Early in the morning, around 3:30 am, we will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco and head to the starting point of our hike to Waqrapukara. After a stop at the Four Lakes of Acomayo and a delicious breakfast at Qenterococha Lake, we will begin our hike towards the Waqrapukara archaeological complex. Along the way, we will have the opportunity to enjoy the flora and fauna of the area. Once we reach the archaeological complex, we will explore this incredible place with the detailed guidance of our guide, and you will have free time to explore and take photos. Afterwards, we will start hiking back on a different trail with different viewpoints of the Apurimac Canyon. At the end of the trail, our private transportation will be waiting for us, and we will enjoy lunch before returning to Cusco around 7:00 pm. It is important that travelers undertaking the Waqrapukara tour are in good physical condition and have acclimatized to the altitude due to the high elevation of the site.

Laura B2023-09-13Verified Great tour with wonderful views and awesome guide Had such a good time on this tour, the views are amazing, the food is good and I found the walk up to the top very manageable, even with the altitude. What really made it a great tour though was Marco, our guide, who was so knowledgeable, kind and funny - our driver was also lovely. Would definitely recommend to anyone considering rainbow mountain!
