What attractions does the Cachiccata have?
It has three groups of quarries Inca Trail:
- Molle Pucro, the most accessible and popular Inca quarry.
- Sirkusirkuyoc (it was the largest of the three), shows evidence of having been in full operation when the Spanish entered this area.
- Kantirayoq or Cacchicata, where another type of extraction of minerals and precious stones was practised.
We will also visit the slopes of Cachiccata, the Paqariqtampu pyramid and the imposing surrounding snow-capped mountains.
We can find the so-called “Tired Stones” that remained during the journey to Ollantaytambo and in some parts of the village.
In the same way, we can observe the great work they did when moving the gigantic stones to build the Ollantaytambo precincts.
This place is also known for the Intipunku (cover of the Sun), considered a Sacred place of Spiritual retreat since ancient times, where you can feel the energy of the Apus (spirits of the mountains) and recharge with positive energies in the heights of the Sacred Valley.
