Here our guide will tell us more about the Inca history as well as their communication system. We'll also enjoy a stunning view of the Huancarccasa Canyon. Then, we'll go down to Quellomayo village to enjoy a nice lunch and relax in the restaurant's hammock. After the recovery break we continue our tour for 2 hours until we arrive at the hot springs of Cocalmayo. Here we spent a little while and enjoy the atmosphere.
