Excellent shorter hike to an active archeological site a little less visited. We did this hike a couple days after Huana Picchu and my wife and I disagree as to which was harder. Regardless the hike was still little on the difficult side after only 5 days at altitude but definitely doable. My 11-year old loved it despite the early rise. Beto, our guide was fun and very informative. As well as learning about the site we were taught about native plants and their medicinal purposes. The views along the hike and at Waqrapukara itself were some of the most incredible I’ve seen.

A long, amazing day!
This is an ambitious tour! But what you get to see is just stunning! In our case, we are in our early 60s and it was only our second day at elevation, so we got winded and had to take breaks during the hike portion on the trip. Our guide, Edwin, was very supportive and we were able to go at our own pace. While driving we came across several herds of sheep, alpaca and llama and we stopped for photos. Communication leading up to the trip was great with all questions answered. We highly recommend this excursion with the understanding that it is a long day, but worth it!
