Itinerary

Considered the last Inca refuge that resisted the Spanish conquistadors for decades, it is located high in the Apurímac Canyon, at an altitude of 3,030 meters above sea level, in a strategic geographical area between the Andean mountains and the jungle edge. Access is difficult, but not impossible, and it is certainly not unexciting for anyone who loves adventure.
