Huayna Kolka

Exploration Path

After visiting the archaeological site of Machu Kolka, we get on our bikes and begin a descent among trees and adobe houses towards the town of Racchi. There, we pedal in ascent towards the viewpoint of Huayna Kolka to contemplate the valley. We descend by a winding dirt road to Huayllabamba. At this point, we skirt around different crop fields until we reach explora.

This zone showcases the valley’s verticality – a pivotal component around which the Incas developed their particular cosmovision.
