Day 1: Cusco – Cachora – Capuliyoc – Rosalina Beach.

 The trip starts at dawn leaving the city of Cusco and the first destination where the vehicle takes us is the town of San Pedro de Cachora (2850 m.a.s.l.), located in the Curahuasi district; from the mentioned place the whole journey is done on foot, the Cachora stream is crossed and ascends through a forest of eucalyptus and native vegetation to the observation post of Capuliyoc (2800 m) where the muleteers who will transport the heaviest goods to Mule loins. We continue along the road until we reach a viewpoint from where you can see the Apurimac River whose course has formed the Apurimac Canyon, considered the deepest in the world, past this point we must consider that our spiritual adventure begins with the sanctuary of the first destination Choquequirao, that is why our spiritual guide will make a ritual offering asking permission from Mother Earth (Pachamama), Apu Salkantay and other sacred mountains around so that they can lead us on our path with harmony, peace, love and understanding.

After continuing the walk for a few more hours, lunch will be served and it will be possible to rest for a moment at the stopping place.

The descent to the Apurímac River along a zigzagging path, between bushes and diverse vegetation and a forest of native trees called Phaty, takes approximately six hours to reach the first camp of Playa Rosalina (1550 m.a.s.l.). where a harmonization meeting and an offering to the Pachamama is held and where we can expect a warm night in the valley.

The terraces that make up its structure were used for the cultivation of food, as in all places built by the Incas.

On a path between mountain forests we will advance in a long and steep ascent until we reach the camp in Maizal (3000 masl), site that is one of the most beautiful places on the route, with a spectacular view of three different valleys and the peaks of the Great snowy Occjoruro and Chamanayoc, right in front of us. In this place a payment of thanks is made to Apus Salkantay, Occjoruro and Chamanayoc.

Day 5: Maizal – Yanama.

Early in the morning, we leave our Maizal camp after a group harmonization. On our way through the puna we take lunch at the San Juan pass (4200 m) with a beautiful view of the Choquetakarpo mountain. After lunch begins the descent to Yanama (3530 m), a small isolated village at the bottom of a valley surrounded by mountains. This place has an indescribable beauty, tranquility and calm are very noticeable in this place, here we will make a payment of thanks to the Pachamama to lead us and guide us on it.

Day 6: Yanama – Totora.

During breakfast we will share a moment of ten minutes to fraternize and meditate. We start from Yanama through the valley going up to the highest point of the trip, crossing the Yanama pass (4600 m), where we will have a good scenic view of the Sacsarayoc snowy mountain. On the other side we will go down to our next camp in the community of Totora (3200 m.a.s.l.), where we will spend the night.

Day 7: Totora – Hydroelectric – Aguas Calientes.

At dawn in Totora we will have a pleasant moment of meditation and after having breakfast, we will leave for the area called Hydroelectric, crossing different altitude floors where the change of vegetation cover is quite noticeable, passing from the high altitude forests to the humid forests of the high jungle. On the way we will see small waterfalls and we will be able to observe – with a little luck and if we silently walk a great variety of birds and vegetables such as epiphytes and orchids. The climate change is also noticeable because it feels warm and humid.

Continuing the road, you will arrive at the Hydroelectric Station (1900 m) where we will board the train to Aguas Calientes (2050 m), a town where we will be staying at the hostel or a hotel of your choice (included). After a rest and a restful bath, we will enjoy dinner at a local vegetarian restaurant.
