Itinerary Experience based tourism in Patacancha

Day 1: Cusco – Willoq

Very early in the morning our transportation will pass by your hotel to pick you up before we head towards the Sacred Valley of the Incas. We’ll stop in Ollantaytambo to get to know more about its history before we head towards Willoq where we will begin the activity with the villagers by getting to know their form of life and being part of their daily life with herding animals, agriculture, weaving and the choirs of the house. We will have a typical lunch and dinner with a show prepared by the villagers of Willoq. We pass the night in a basic hostal with basic services.

Day 2: Willoq – Patacancha – Cusco

Early in the morning we have a nutritious breakfast with local ingredients prepared by the house owners, after that we visit Patacancha where we will have a presentation about their produce and daily activities. We participate in some of the activities like getting to know more about their textile as their clothing are dominated by the colors red and black, for that reason they are known as “huayruros” as their clothing resembles the colors of this seed off good fortune.

Here we also find a community of weavers, women that only speak Quechua and weave everything that can be woven: scarfs, ponchos, blankets and bags of fine natural fiber (sheep or alpaca) that can give it a silky texture.

Lunch and return to Cusco.

Best Tour I've ever had! Américo gave us the best tour we could ask for.We were 6 peoples, went por 10 days. He made so interesting every place we went with all the history and knowledge that he shared, so it felt different and special his treatment instead of just going, take the picture and go. Also, the experience in the Salkantay trail it was magical and authentic as if we were the Andean man. I was a little bit worried for my 9 y/o son because the route is of high difficulty, but Américo and his crew were very helpful that made it very easy and pleasent for my kid, they answered all his questions and took cared of his needs.
The food was delicious every day of the tour and made by a private chef just for us. In short the crew made sure to cover all our needs.
The whole experience made me fell in love of Peru and its culture. Everyone in my family was please and happy for the amount of details and care.

I would definitely repeat this tour. It exceed my expectations. I hope i can come back and hire KuskAndes Treck for another tour.

Just the best hike I ever did in my life. Americo was an amazing tour guide. It was 10 of us, all from different countries He was very knowable about the tour. Inca trail was 4 days with beautiful views . I highly recommend Americo and his whole team . If you are ready to have the greatest experience of your life get in touch with them and book your incredible experience

Machu Picchu alternative trek - Inka experience Americo went above and beyond to make our experience in Machu Picchu unforgettable! We arrived to Cusco in the middle of the strikes closing the main roads and whilst many tourists ended up trapped, Americo organised an alternative route to make our trip possible. Highly recommend him!

Trek to Machu Picchu Two summers ago my two girlfriends and I did the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu. It was simply the most magical experience of my life. This trek is not easy and the altitude is no joke. However, the accomplished feeling you receive when you finally catch a glimpse of Machu Picchu is unmatched and totally worth every mile climbed. We complete our trek with Terrias Vivas, and had some issues. But our guide, Americo, became like a best friend to us (it was only the three of us and the guide for our trip). I was so happy to hear that he recently opened his own trekking company because he is amazing! He is SO intelligent and can identify nearly every single flower, plant, bird, etc. that he sees. He has such a kind heart and I wish that everyone hiking the Andes had the opportunity to have him as their guide.
In conclusion, this tour is definitely worth it. Again, Americo is incredible and I walked away with not only photos of incredible views, increased knowledge of culture and history, and full bellies but I also gained a great friend in the process!
