What will you do?
Do you want to taste the typical picnic of Yucay, to know a stretch of the Inca trail, to learn the history of this corner of Cusco? We start with a walk to the Temple of Santiago Apostle of Yucay, we will visit the Sayri Tupac Palace and the Hatun Ñam (pre-incan highway) and finally reach Unraqiy (where farmers channelled the water flow), at the foot of the pre-Inca burial center T’oqochayoq. Then we will have a mid morning picnic and I will teach you how to make your own uchucuta chili, one of the most famous in Peru.

Esta experiencia nos sorprendió gratamente, el camino inca que recorrimos, maravilloso! Stephany durante toda la caminata nos explicó a detalle todo lo que veíamos, los andenes con frutales y sembríos, una caminata hermosa por un camino muy lindo, vale la pena volver caminando por el mismo recorrido. Al llegar al punto final fue aún más lindo, preparamos uchucuta ( ají- Chilli ) con batan y comimos maravilloso, todo delicioso y la presentación hermosa. Una pareja muy amable, nos fuimos felices de haber realizado esta experiencia. 💜 Muchas gracias!!
