Pajchanta
Upon arrival in Pacchanta, we will go to a restaurant to taste the delicious Andean food, where the local flavors of the region envelop our palate.
If you wish, it is possible to take a bath in the hot springs of Pacchanta. Remember that this is an optional activity, so if you don't want to do it, you will have free time to explore the surroundings of this magical village.
Now is the time to rest and relax as we cross the Andes back to the Imperial City of the Incas. We will arrive in Cusco around 6:30 pm.
