About this experience

You'll be picked up from your accommodation, preferably within the historic center of Cusco, starting around 4:00 AM.

Then, you'll head south of Cusco to the town of Cusipata for your first stop: breakfast.

Before reaching the town of Palccoyo, you'll stop to snap some photos of the colonial bridge and the Inca bridge.

Once you arrive at Palccoyo Mountain (4,900 masl), you'll have free time to photograph and soak in the views. You'll even be able to spot part of Nevado Ausangate.

You'll then return to the parking lot and head back to Cusipata for lunch. Finally, you'll return to the city of Cusco (arriving around 6:00 PM), and your transport will drop you off one block from the Plaza de Armas (Plaza Regocijo)
