Physical Requirements: This hike is Moderate - The uphill portions require moderate to good physical condition and are most difficult as we reach the high pass at 4000m. After crossing the high pass, there is a steep descent (approx. 4 hours), during which we recommend using trekking poles for stability and to reduce strain on the knees.

Your guide will lead the group on an exploration of this magical archaeological site, after which you’ll finish with some time to enjoy an included box lunch.
Then make a steep 2-hour downhill descent to the town of Lamay. Your transport service will pick the group up and drive you to Cuzco, where our trip will come to an end between 5 and 6pm.
