Day 1: Cusco Cachora
Chaquisqa (L) (D)
The bus will pick us up at the hotel at 6 a.m. to begin our
journey to the village of Cachora. During our journey we will
stop a moment to observe the archaeological remains of Tarawasi
from the bus, continuing thereafter towards the Cunyac Bridge
between the departments of Cusco and Apurimac. Next we will
travel through the district of Curawasi and Saywute, arriving
at Cachora at 10 a.m. approximately. We will begin our trek
from this area, along sloping path leading to the pass of
Capuliyoc (2800 m.a.s.l) where we will stop for lunch after
a two-hour walk. Then we will continue our journey to the
town of Chaquisqa (1930 m.a.s.l). The whole course to Chaquisqa

warm. Our first camp will be setup here. This is a three-hour
walk.

Playa Rosalina (1550 m.a.s.l), followed by an early climb
up the hill towards Santa Rosa (2100 m.a.s.l) where we stop
for lunch. This course is the hardest and we will take three
hours after which we will climb up to the Maranpata (2850
m.a.s.l) that is an easier climb. During our journey we will
observe the vegetation existing in the area. Later, we will
journey along a straight section towards Sunchupata where
will camp. Trekking time is two hours. It is a one hour journey

about this important Inca refuge. At the scheduled time, we
will begin our return to Sunchupata, descending to Santa Rosa,
where we stop for lunch. Thereafter we continue descending
to Playa Rosalina that takes about an hour. Upon our arrival
at Rosalina we will continue our journey to the village of
Chaquisqa, two hours away from Rosalina, where we will spend
the night.

Capuliyoc. From here, it takes another two hours to reach
the village of Cachora along a smoother route, arriving at
12:00 am approximately. During our journey we will observe
the exotic flora and fauna as well as sights of majestic snowcapped
peaks and the impressive canyon of the Apurimac. In the afternoon
