DAY 01 CUSCO / CALCA / LARES HOT SPRINGS / WACAWASI
Early morning departure to Cusco by land transportation. Along the journey, we will observe archaeological remains,handicraft markets and large farm lands in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

The rest of the journey will be downhill until reaching the town of Lares at the valley (3,250m.a.s.l.) where after a few minutes we will get to the hot springs (3,200m.a.s.l.). This place is naturally charming, where there is a different temperature (between 28° and 34°) in each pool. After lunch, we start hiking to Huaca Wasi (3,600m.a.s.l.). a cold camp site. (Journey on transportation lasts 5 hours. Trekking lasts 3 hours).

DAY 02 WACAWASI / EPSAYCOCHA
This will be the toughest day of all because of the altitude range. We start the approximate 4-hour hike to reach the top of the gorge called Ipsay (4,400m.a.s.l.).

We will descend to reach the camp, located in the community of Patacancha, a cold place at 3,800m.a.s.l. (Trekking period 7 hours).

These communities still keep the customs and traditions taught by their ancestors along the empire of Tahuantisuyo.
