This hidden wonder with the shape of two horns is a great destination to conquer and it is located at the district of Acos, Province of Acomayo, there at the top, on the abysses that overlook the Apurímac river canyon. Peruvian Government named Cultural Heritage of the Nation in 2017.
In Quechua language Waqra means "horn" and ``Pukara'' meansstrength. Some locals from the area call it Llama Pukara, arguing that they are two ears of a llama as a sign of warning to intruders.It was built by the Qanchis and later conquered by the Incas.
We will start early to maximize the daylight and have the best possible weather during our expedition. We will have breakfast on the way.
We have two routes, which we will define according to weather conditions. The first option is starting our walk in the Pitumarca Community at 4,000 meters above sea level (masl) and the second is via Santa Lucía, at 3,600 masl.
In both cases, our walk will be approximately 2 ½ hours for each section, 5 hours in total. The level of difficulty is medium. This Inca trail is surrounded by nature and forest rocks with beautiful landscapes and views.
Upon our arrival at this Inca Fortress (3,700 m.a.s.l.), our guide will share the history of the place for approximately 45 minutes. Then we will enjoy our Lunch Box and then start our way back.
Our arrival to Cusco is estimated at 19:00
