Itinerary

Lodge-Based Three Tambos Trek Itinerary

Day 1

Day 1: Cusco to Chilla, First Tambo

Overnight Location - Lodge in Chillca | Distance - 1.5 hours, 3.3km | Meals - Lunch, dinner, snacks

Begin with an early morning departure from Cusco along the fertile Vilcanota Valley to the town of Checacupe. After a visit to the colonial temple of the Immaculate, start ascending the Pitumarca Valley along the spectacular Japura Gorge that leads to Chillca, where you will be greeted by the community. From here, it is a short and easy walk to the first tambo. Once at the lodge, there will be time to relax and enjoy the music provided by the locals of Chillca.

Day 2

Day 2: Chillca to Anantapata, Second Tambo

Overnight Location - Lodge at Apu Ausangate | Distance - Flexible | Meals - Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks

Your hike begins at 8:30 in the wide valley of Pampa Uyuni, where impressive glaciated mountains loom above the valley offering majestic views. After passing the Ausangate River you will go to the Astanapata community. Tremendous views of the glaciated south face of the Apu will inspire you as you continue towards the red sandstone formations of the Nevado del Inca.

Overnight, stay in the Anantapata Tambo, located right at the bottom of an imposing mountain.

Day 3

Day 3: Anantapata to Huampococha

Overnight Location - Lodge in Ausangate (4,800m/15,748ft) | Distance - 6 hrs, 10.1km | Meals - Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks

After breakfast, take the trail to another mountain pass. Dropping down, you’ll hike by Lake Kayrawiri, surrounded by rugged mountain peaks and the great valley below. Striations of colour are embedded in the hillsides. Then you will go on to Cerro Laya Grande via the massive Glacier del Inca, admiring the most striking colours in the sediments of Vinicunca (commonly known as the “Rainbow Mountain”). Eat lunch here in this unique landscape.

On your way to the next tambo, you will see hundreds of Andean geese nesting in the cliffs of Anta and the flatiron formations of Apu Labrayani near Huampococha Tambo, where you will spend the night at the Camino del Apu Ausangate.

Day 4

Day 4: Huampococha - Cusco

Overnight Location - None | Distance - 4.5 hrs, 8.3km | Meals - Breakfast

After a picnic lunch, the bus will be ready for your return trip to Cusco.
