DAY 1 CUSCO / QUINCEMIL / KUPORO´
Leaving the city on the main southern road, heading towards Lake Titicaca, our first stop will be the village of Andahuaylillas – visit the beautiful church, also renowned as the Sistine Chapel of the Andes, famous for its frescoes. Continue on until reaching the town of Urcos, capital of the Province of Quispicanchis. Passing this urban site we join with the Interoceanic Highway which heads towards Brazil climbing its way up to the highlands with rolling hills and snow-capped peaks of the Cordillera Vilcanota, dominated by Mt. Ausangate, the main mountain deity of the Andean inhabitants in Inca and pre-Inca times. Drive over three passes; the highest is Pirhuayani Pass at 4,725m. Stop to try some local cheese or sweet milk. Leaving this marvelous landscape of blue skies, dotted with clouds and its never-ending landscapes of fields and craggy peaks, we begin our descent into the enigmatic cloud forest – a winding road brings us past settlements of alpaca herders to the first village of Marcapata. We can stop here to see the grass roof church. As we slowly descend into the cloud forest, we begin to see a radical change in the vegetation as we drive along the Araza River. Four hours after Urcos we will arrive in the district of Quincemil and at Kuporo´ Lodge, (730m) located on the Araza River just after crossing La Oroya Bridge. We´ll arrive for lunch and check in. In the afternoon we can take a tour of the property to learn about the conservation and agroforestry projects in place. After dinner a choice to view caimans in a small stream behind the lodge or take a night hike. (Vehicle: 4-5 hrs., 220 kms). (Lunch and Dinner)
