Waqrapukara Tour

Discover the spectacular Waqrapukara Tour, a full-day adventure from Cusco to one of the most impressive and lesser-known archaeological sites in the Andes. Waqrapukara, meaning “Horn-shaped Fortress” in Quechua, is a unique stone formation located high above the Apurímac River canyon.

The journey begins with an early departure from Cusco, traveling through beautiful Andean landscapes, traditional communities, and remote mountain valleys. After reaching the trailhead, we will hike toward Waqrapukara, enjoying breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and deep canyon along the way.

Once at the site, you will have time to explore the ancient ceremonial complex, admire its distinctive horn-shaped rock formations, and take spectacular photographs from different viewpoints. The combination of dramatic cliffs, high-altitude landscapes, and Inca history makes Waqrapukara an unforgettable experience.

After exploring the site, we will return along the hiking trail and enjoy a well-deserved lunch before traveling back to Cusco.

The Waqrapukara Tour is ideal for travelers looking for an off-the-beaten-path experience, impressive scenery, and a challenging adventure away from the more crowded tourist attractions around Cusco.
