Itinerary description

Fantastic loop around all the best parts of the Pisac Inca ruins. Pretty tough first third is uphill most of the way but well worth it. You're nearly at the top when you get to the tunnel. The walk back is much more gentle.

Get ready... There's a long uphill from here... But it's worth it. Just take it slow

This part was a bit sketchy crossing the dry river bed, the trail had collapsed. It was marked as do not enter but we did it anyway
