Inkilltambo - Kallachaka
From here we'll continue down following the creek until we reach Inkilltambo (Inca Carcel) where we will have a brief tour and time to explore. Inkilltambo is still under study today. Researchers say 95% remains unexplored which could take 10 years to unearth. From the ruins of Inkilltambo we'll continue to follow original Inka trails along the water listening to pools in the creek filling with each passing waterfall until we reach the Kallachaka bridge where we will see colonial remains and ovens. Also we'll observe the impressive construction of a troncade piramid sitting on top of the cliff and still intact from the Inca time.

Included Boxed Lunch
