What you'll do
2-Day Waqrapukara Hike
Tour Highlight
Waqrapukara is a mysterious site, hidden away from most other sites in Cusco. This place was considered more sacred than Machu Picchu. The clue is a vaulted niche with three jambs that faces the sunrise. You'll see it when you arrive there. It's design and difficulty to reach suggest it was meant to be a secret. Not much is known about its purpose. The surrounding valley is breathtaking, and you'll get to see a side of Cusco not many others see.
Waqrapukara is considered off the beaten path. We also have a 2-day hike that involves exploring tombs on the mountain ridge. Inside the tombs are the untouched remains of the Qanchi who were around during the Inca. .
