Then we will head in our private transportation to Piskacucho (2720 masl/8923 ft) or Kilometer 82, where we will pass the first entrance control to the Inca Trail, cross a suspension bridge that will lead us to the other side of the Urubamba River and start walking with a gentle ascent. We will use 3 hours of relatively flat terrain as we advance with the course of the river, where our reward will be the magnificent views of La Veronica Mountain (5,750 meters). The hike passes through a forest of giant cacti. When we reach Miskay, we will ascend gradually to the Willkaraccay Ruins, which are located well above the mouth of the Cusichaka stream, as well as in front of Llactapata (Terrace Village), an Inca village, after a detailed explanation about the Willkaraccay Ruins, we will have time for lunch and recuperate our energies.
