We will head to the community of Huaylluta, located in the Canas District of Cusco, at 4,000 meters above sea level. This area is known for being part of the chiefdoms of Túpac Amaru. On our way, we will visit Acopía, the hometown of the famous Valicha, who inspired the well-known song.

We will then explore the other three lagoons that make up this renowned Andean natural paradise. This landscape is deeply intertwined with history, as it was here that Túpac Amaru II began his independence movement. Additionally, it offers an excellent setting for capturing unforgettable moments.

What will we do?

We will start our day early in the morning, embarking on a vehicle journey to the charming town of Yoni and Genaro.

Upon arriving at Genaro’s home, we will be warmly welcomed as he introduces us to his house and shares his skill in traditional Cusco embroidery (maquinask’a). We will have the opportunity to visit his small workshop, where he will invite us to participate and learn more about this art form.

We will enjoy a delicious homemade lunch prepared by them, with the option to choose between trout or guinea pig. As a token of appreciation for your visit, you will receive a beautiful keepsake: a small embroidered piece crafted by them, serving as a memory of this unique experience.

After spending the day immersed in their culture and hospitality, we will return to the city at sunset.
