About
The wonderful route of the Ancasocha trail is one of the least-known routes to the incredible Machu Picchu. It’s far less crowded than other trails. Not a lot of companies offer the tour because it’s so off-the-beaten-path and the scenery is so beautiful that it was recognized as one of the 20 dream hikes by National Geographic on their best walks in the world list. Along the trail, you’ll visit Quechua-speaking farming communities and observe how they live in these more remote parts of Cusco. Much of their culture and customs have changed very little for centuries, and these communities will give you a glimpse into what life was like back in Inca times. This trek combines high-altitude hiking...

Our first day of this beautiful trek will start at daybreak when we pick you up from Cusco or Urubamba to drive up to the trailhead in Yanacocha Lake located at an elevation of 4,572 masl (15,000 ft). We will be met by our mule drivers and embark on our journey with a gradual ascent for about 45 minutes followed by a slight descent. The purity and ruggedness of the surrounding mountains, only inhabited by llamas, alpacas, and condors will immediately have you profoundly connected to nature. We’ll have our first fabulous lunch made with mostly organic ingredients from our family farm at a place called Amarupata (4,400 masl / 14,437 ft) with the impressive Mount Moyuc in the background. From here, the next stretch is 30 minutes uphill to conquer our first pass, Kinsa Cruz (4,700 masl / 15,748 ft). Another 1,5 hours of hiking will get us to the campsite for the day where we’ll also have dinner.
