T’aqrachullo stands on a cliff looking straight out over the Three Canyons. They sit in the same district and combine well in a single trip: the most complete — and best value — way to see Suyckutambo.

The morning is given to the Inca citadel, with a guided walk through temples, plazas and chullpas. After lunch you descend to the volcanic rock amphitheatre and the viewpoint over the Apurímac.

It is a long day above 4,000 metres. We recommend acclimatising at least one day beforehand.
