En la Cordillera de Vilcabamba en Cusco, se encuentra el cañón del Pongo de Mainique, donde cruza el río Urubamba. Este famoso río nace en los glaciares cercanos a sus aguas que riegan el Valle Sagrado de los Incas. La puesta tiene una extensión de 3,8 km y es la puerta de entrada al santuario.

travel cusco

Es cierto que en la temporada de lluvias es riesgoso cuando el río se carga, pero durante los meses de abril a noviembre, las aguas permanecen completamente tranquilas y es el más recomendable para visitar este lugar, con el que se realiza muchas visitas durante estos meses.

El punto de partida de este magnífico recorrido en canoa motorizada comienza en La Conveción, provincia a 17 km de Quillabamba, cuando en un pequeño pueblo cercano, con el nombre Ivochote, comienza la partida en canoa rumbo a Pongo Mainique, durante este recorrido observaremos la diversa flora y fauna, así como las magníficas cascadas que hacen del paisaje un paraíso.

Para disfrutar más la experiencia, se puede acampar en las playas cercanas, caminar alrededor, tomar un baño en las aguas naturales y disfrutar de una buena pesca.

 

Realmente es una de las mejores aventuras en el Cusco.

Kanamarka is located in the community of Chani – K’anamarka in the district of Alto Pichigua-cusco. I discover  you  in the  agony of twilight,when the sun changes the sky into a  bonfire  of surrealistic patterns. I discover you  In the prelude to the night, sheltered  by the implacable shadows that  invade the horizon unhurriedly. I discover and admire you in silence, k’anamarka,listening to the voices of the  wind that beats against or caresses your solid walls of Stone.Here,among the chiaroscuro shades of twilinght  and the insistent song of the  wind,I imagine your splendid past as i wander throgh ypur everlasting grandeur.Ancient city and pride  of ts people. A pre-inca legacy  that astonishes visitors with  its architectural  beauty and  captivates researchers with its mysteries : mummies ,pottery, metal objects.There are more tan a hundred of them and  they  are scattered over a hectare of these lonely, rough grasslands. I also visit subterranean burial chambers, niches, water channels and ancient storehouses in which their builders ,the K’anas, piled their harvests in preparation.

peru toursThe queuña is one of the most cold-tolerant trees in the world,For many it is impossible to believe that over the 4000 500 meters above sea level in the Cordillera Vilcanota, can grow and survive a tree, but this is not new in the Peruvian highlands because in the provinces of Calca and Urubamba , in Cusco,there is one original.
The importance of queuñales not only measured in the ability to grow in icy places, but meets the ecological roles: regulating the climate, prevent soil erosion and stores large amounts of water after a filtration process (for land) and springs feed puquios (waterholes). A queñua requires 5% of the water used to grow a eucalyptus tree, so this plant is very useful for policy development on climate change.
the Birds queñuales related to forests are approximately 110 species and 9 species of mammals, among which are  the Andean cat categorized as a species “endangered”, the Puma and Andean taruka categorized as a “vulnerable” species.

Camino-inca-cuscoMiles de viajeros de todas partes del mundo emprenden el recorrido de los caminos del inca desde el cusco para acceder a la ceja de selva, y a los misterios que aun encierra la ciudadela inca de Machupicchu.
El famoso Amino Inca que une la ciudad de Cusco con la ciudadela inca de Machu Picchu, es solo una parte mínima y tangencial de la gigantesca red de caminos incas que abarco cerca de 5200 kilómetros entre Quito, Cusco y Tucumán, en Argentina.
El recorrido se inicia en la localidad de Quri Wayrachina (“Venteadero de oro” en quechua), a la altura del kilómetro 88 de la vía férrea Cusco – Quillabamba, y toma entre tres y cuatro días de caminata arribar a Machu Picchu.
En la travesía, que atraviesa una impresionante pendiente latitudinal, con climas y ecosistemas tan variados como la altiplanicie alto andina y los bosques de neblina, se deben superar dos pasos a gran altura.
El mayor de ellos, la Huarmihuañusca, de 4200 metros de altitud, también conocido como “Paso de la Mujer Muerta” y termina con el ingreso a Machu Picchu a través del Inti Puncu o ‘puerta del Sol’.
