We will be picking you up from your hotel within the historic centre of Cusco at 03:30 AM. If you are not staying within the historic centre, we will co-ordinate with you a meeting point and you will be picked up from there. After picking up all travellers, we will start cruising south towards Sangarara, a town just off the Waqrapukara site. On the way, we will stop at Pomacanchi lagoon. Pomacanchi lagoon presents tranquil bluish-green water and is the best place to practice water sports such as rafting and kayaking. Birdwatchers can also have a great time here admiring different birds such as ducks, coots, herons, gulls, Andean flamingos, pariguanas as well as ccopos, tactacas, churchus, mayoalccos, pillcuycos, ajoyas and choqas. Once in Sangarara, we will stop for breakfast before continuing the trip to Rinconada community from where we will start our hike to Waqrapukara. During the hike, you will be passing through regions rich with flora and fauna those are typical in the region. At Waqrapukara, you will have a guided tour of Intipunku (the door of the sun), the main square, towers, andenería, Wiracocha enclosure and cave paintings with the representation of flames.

    If you are in Cusco do not skip this site. We figured out that this is not quite popular among travellers as Machu Picchu but it was very interesting and photogenic. We did this tour with Travel peru Best in a day. The sights are very beautiful and the people living there are very welcoming and are super friendly. Alex is an extremely wonderful guide and helped us a lot. We highly reccomend visiting Waqrapukara.
