Half - Day
The Terraces of Yucay

   
  • Route: Yucay - San Juan gorge - Yucay
  • Walking distance: 2 km
  • Degree: S

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.
