Waqrapukara is for travelers who like ruins more than viewpoints and want a hike with almost nobody else on it. It suits people with at least two days in Cusco who walk regularly at home. If you want an Inca site with less walking and a shorter drive, the Sacred Valley day tour is the easier day.
Waqrapukara means horn fortress in Quechua. The Inca walls wrap around a rock outcrop that ends in two pointed spires, like the horns of a bull, on the edge of the Apurimac canyon in the province of Acomayo. Stone terraces, doorways and enclosures sit right under the horns, and the drop into the canyon on the far side is sheer. The site sits at about 14,110 ft (4,300 m) by our route data.
You walk out and back on the same trail across open highland with herding hamlets and wide views. There are no crowds and no vendors, so carry everything you need. The van waits at the trailhead with a box lunch, and you are back in Cusco between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m.
One price for everyone: US$147 per person, shared service, with transport, guide, breakfast and box lunch. There is no hotel tier because you sleep in your own Cusco hotel. Solo travelers and groups who want their own departure get a quote through the free quote form.
This tour leaves every day of the year. Pick the date you want and send the free quote form. We confirm the seat and your pickup time within the day.
Plan it after two nights in Cusco. Small groups fill fast from June to August, so send your request two weeks ahead.
Open a day to see the hours, the altitude and where you sleep. Times are the ones our guides actually keep.
Back in Cusco the same day, high point about 14,110 ft (4,300 m)
Pickup between 4:00 and 4:30 a.m. from hotels in central Cusco. The van heads south into the province of Acomayo.
Breakfast before the walk. Fill your water bottles here.
The trail crosses open highland and small herding hamlets with long views. The site appears late, as two rock horns on the skyline.
Your guide walks you through the terraces and enclosures under the horns and explains how the site was built. Time to rest and take photos over the canyon.
Back on the same trail to the van.
A packed lunch at the trailhead before the drive back.
Drop-off near the Plaza de Armas between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m.
The route runs south of Cusco into the province of Acomayo, where the trail to Waqrapukara starts.

"Incredible experience!! Beautiful landscape and beautiful people. We were lucky to be guided by Vladimir, who with his lovely personality and amazing knowledge made this trip a great learning experience."
"All the tours I did (Machu, Humantay Lake, Rainbow Mountain, Sacred Valley) were spectacular!!! From picking me up at the hotel (always punctual and attentive, notifying about everything!) to the guides I had who were also excellent."
"I came to this agency by recommendation and, after traveling with them on two occasions, I can say that it was an excellent decision. I must highlight the professionalism of the guides, who made every tour very interesting and safe."

In the province of Acomayo, south of Cusco, on the rim of the Apurimac River canyon. You reach it by road and then on foot, so it works as a day trip with a 4:00 a.m. pickup and a return to Cusco between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m.
Moderate. The trail is out and back over highland terrain with some steep sections, at around 14,110 ft. Fit walkers who have spent two nights in Cusco handle it well. Hiking boots and poles make the descent much easier on your knees.
Horn fortress, from the Quechua words for horn and fortress. The name comes from the two pointed rock spires that rise above the Inca walls. Seen from the trail, the spires frame the walls like a crown.
Waqrapukara if you want Inca ruins and solitude. Rainbow Mountain if you want the striped ridge and do not mind crowds. Waqrapukara is lower, around 14,110 ft against 16,522 ft, and the walk is longer but less steep at the end.
No. There are no shops at the site. Breakfast is served before the walk, and a box lunch waits at the van when you come back. Carry snacks and at least 1.5 liters of water for the hike.
Shorter, longer, or a different route.
