The van takes us from the hotel
to the town of Yucay, a ride of 10 minutes. We start to walk towards
the San Juan gorge, next to a very wide Inca canal. A narrow path
takes us up to the agricultural terraces. These terraces are the
only ones in the Valley that are still maintained and used. Our
guide will explain the ancient irrigation system. We arrive at the
Gate of the Sun, where the Incas used to perform religious ceremonies.
Here we stop and enjoy a refreshment.
As we loop the gorge we have beautiful
views of the Valley and a wide variety of plants and flowers. We
descend to Yucay where our transport picks us up.
