You will be picked up at 7:00 am from your hotel in Cusco to begin our adventure.

It will take approximately 3 hours of  hiking to reach Llamas´s pass, the highest point of our trek (4020 m/13,188 ft). This is the time to pat yourself on the back and enjoy the stunning views of snowy mountains, llamas, alpacas, rugged valleys and undulating farmlands. Then our Quechua families will set up our lunch spot, and we will enjoy hot muña and coca tea with a delicious lunch overlooking the picturesque Lares Valley. After lunch we will descend 2 hours to reach our homestay in the Willoq Alto community where all the Quechua families will welcome you to their village. They are excited to “adopt” travelers into their families, and you will experience a living culture during your overnight stay with these Inca descedents in the Andes of Perú .

DÍA 2: Willoq Alto – Ollantaytambo – Cuzco

We will wake up at 7:00am to share breakfast with village families. The morning will be spent learning about the traditional weaving culture that sustains these families. They still use all-natural dyes made from plants, seeds, flowers, roots and cactus parasites to color their wools, and this is a terrific place to pick up some handmade souvenirs. Around 9:30 am our driver will pick us up and an hour’s drive will take us to Pumamarka – an amazing Incan archeological site that is seldom visited by tourists. You will enjoy the view of Incan farming terraces which extend over the mountains as well as their ancient houses and store houses. Exploring Pumamarka takes around 2 hours.
