Our guide will pick you up from the hotel at five thirty to begin our trip. We drive one hour and forty-five minutes to Soqma (3,205 m/10,512 feet.). The trail's headtrack leads us to meet the horses and crew.

The hike takes one and a half hours, starting at the Perolniyoc cascade and viewpoint. The waterfall is amazing; you could even make a quick trek down to the base to grab some amazing photos (and cool off if the weather is hot!). At the Rayan Pre-Inca site, we continue for 45 minutes. Nestled on a clifftop, the Pre-Inca site provides an amazing perspective of the valley below. We keep pushing the climb for almost an hour until we reach Rayan (3,700 m/12,139 feet). This offers a chance for leisure, rest, and refreshment for afternoon trekking. The afternoon begins with a difficult 3-hour uphill climb toward the Kuychowiczasa pass (4,450 m/14,599 ft). Every turn will provide you with amazing vistas of snow-capped mountains passing by rural estates. At the pass's summit, we recover our breath and take in the Incas' Sacred Valley and Chankachuco Valley.

From this vantage point, the 25-minute downhill trek makes it easy to reach our tent on level terrain of 4,400 m or 14,435 ft. Twelve kilometers (7.4 miles) is the trek distance. It is tough; the usual time is seven to eight hours. Views: The Pre-Inca Mountains range, including the Perolniyoq waterfall. We slept in Chankachuko or Kuychicasa, depending on the distance we traveled.
