We will be able to observe the Andean people’s harvest and at the top of the mountain we will participate in an offering ceremony to please the Pacha Mama (Mother Earth).
From the top of the mountain we will have a great view of the city of Cusco, and mountains and glaciers which were very important during the Inca times. After lunch we will continue our trek along a path until reaching a sandstone area called Ccorca, very important because it’s the site of the first human settlements of the region (2000 years B.C.).
