On this four day trek, we will discover the Inca Trails as they move westward.

This spirit of this trek follows our team’s compulsion to explore, find, and retrace the ancient, western directed Inca Trails.

We travel on them to a place electrified with importance and symbolism, Mantto. This was the gathering and launching point for the different populations that migrated westwards as it is represented on several rock paintings in the area that we will visit.

As a postscript to this trip, we visit the village of Lares, capital of the valley and a place well known for its hot springs that we have the chance to enjoy.

Day 1 – Cusco – Acchahuata – Lagunas
We set out early from Cusco in our car and travel for 3 hours across the Andes to later arrive at the town of Acchahuata via the Amparaes Pass (4600 m.). We eat lunch and then visit the knitters who, by their ancestral and enviable skill, produce works of art using alpaca wool and natural dyes. We start the trek again, this time a moderate climb to an altitude of 4150 meters, passing through several indigenous settlements along the way until we reach the Lagunas camp, 4000 m. We eat dinner in the camp and sleep in tents.

Day 2 – Lagunas – Cancana
We set our very early and trek along the old, Inca canal that connects the village of Cancana. Our route carries us along high Andean areas that, as we pass through, reveal to us a large amount of Incan ruins and vestiges.

We sleep that night at the ancient, Incan town of Cancana, the site of different archeological remains (main square, Incan alleys, wells, etc.). We eat dinner in the camp and sleep in tents.

Day 3 – Cancana – Mantto
From Cancana, we begin walking the trail that leads to Mantto, a mythical gathering point for the Incas fleeing westward from the Spanish Conquistadors. We pass easily visible condor nesting sites, highly symbolic rock art, and truly beautiful countryside.

We camp here, close to the conjunction of the Yanatile and Lares rivers.

Day 4 – Lares – Cusco
Very early in the morning, our car transfers us to Lares, the heart of the valley and a place famous for its hot springs. We take a break from our arduous journey, eat lunch, and get back on the road to Cusco, a 3 hour trip.
