“Die Inkaanlage ist überwältigend, die Landschaft tief beeindruckend. Sehr intensive beruhigende Stimmung herrscht im Gesamten Umfeld, weit an von jeglicher Zivilisation. Wer hier gelebt hat, musste weit laufen um Wasser zu holen, wurde belohnt mit einer unberührten Natur und einer enormen Ruhe. Unser Guide Carlos hat begleitet als wären wir seine Familie, er hat die Lebensweise ind die Achtung der Natur der Inkas erklärt und immer wieder Pachamama gerufen. Wie haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wer diesen zrek nicht geht, versäumt ein eindrucksvolles Erlebnis Martin”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 8 reviews · 1 day · from $50

Leave Cusco at 4:30 a.m. for Waqra Pukara, a horn-shaped fortress above the Andes. You’ll get breakfast, lunch, a bilingual guide, transport, and a hike with wide mountain views. Bring S/15 for entry, snacks, water, and patience for a long day on rough roads.

“Horrible communication and experience. Was not picked up by the tour group and getting in contact with them to work through it the day of was a nightmare. They wasted a whole day of my trip. Hopefully it was just a misunderstanding and a one off experience, but I would not risk booking with this group. I recommend booking with a different company.”

3.Waqrapukara Hike Full-Day Tour With Meals

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 3 reviews · 13 - 14 hours · from $119

Leave Cusco before sunrise for Acomayo’s four lagoons, breakfast beside Qenterococha, and a guided hike to Waqrapukara. You’ll explore the horn-shaped Inca site, eat lunch above the Apurimac River, and return by an easier route. Guides speak English, Spanish, and Quechua.

“Waqra Pukara is brilliant. Jaw dropping location and scenery.There are different approach routes, ours was relatively short. Admin wise not so good - I booked through Get Your Guide and emailed a question to my provider two days in advance, no reply ever received. My impression is that folk booked through different agencies but as it’s not yet a popular site and numbers are low we were all lumped together. Be aware there could be some minor issues, but still go!”
