Day 01: Cusco – Cusipata- Palcoyo- cusco 

Early morning at 6 am, your Tour Guide come to your hotel to pick you up. Afterwards, you get on our private vehicle bringing you to the village of Cusipata after a 2-hour ride. We stop there to enjoy a delicious buffet breakfast prepared by our Cooks at the restaurant “La Montana”. Then, we keep the ride for 1 hour more towards the Combapata District where we find the Bridge of Checacupe (3,441 m). This is a hanging bridge made by Quechas natives to favour the Inca Empire. From there, we continue to the foothill of the Ausangate Mountain (6,300 m).

Before we start hiking, our Tour Guide gives us a short briefing. Subsequently, we make a ceremony for “Apus” – local guardian deities, mostly represented by a mountain or a lake. Our hike starts at the altitude of 4,800 m.a.s.l. We trek for 30 minutes till we reach the first viewpoint located at the 4,900 metres. There, we can already see the colourful mountain range of Palcoyo consisting of 3 mountains. Also, we can observe there the immense Mt Ausangate (the most important Apu of the Cusco Region). Before we get to our destination, we may appreciate marvelous rock formations. Upon arrival, we have an hour at the site to admire the stunning landscape.

In the end, we trek back following the same way as we arrived until the place where we left our vehicle. Once there, we head for Cusipata where we have a tasty buffet lunch in a Novoandean style. Finally, we return to the Cusco City arriving there at around 4 pm.
