Chacan Full Day Trekking

Your group will depart from the Plaza de Armas in the early morning and begin the hike up through a eucalyptus forest beside the Saphy River.

After an hour and a half of hiking - the Chacan cave comes into view. "The Temple of the Rainbow", so called because of the presence of a small waterfall inside the cave which reflects rainbow rings off the winter sun's rays. You will be given the opportunity to bathe under the waterfalls and be surrounded by these rainbows; it is an incredible feeling which is both refreshing and spiritual.

Chacan is a beautiful quiet setting unknown by other tourists, as is the next destination; Cusiyuchayoc, commonly known as the "Zona X", which is one hour away from Chacan. This is one of the most enigmatic places to be found the surrounding areas of Cuzco. There are a number of natural tunnels as well as pre-Inca and Inca structures under the earth's surface in this area. Your guide will take you through these subterranean passages during the early afternoon where you will be able to observe the incredible illumination created between each passageway.

The tour continues to the "Temple of the Moon", a natural rock structure that has a man-made altar inside one of its passageways on which the full moon shines at certain times of year. On these specific days, shaman and spiritual groups gather from all four corners of the globe in order to celebrate the full moon to receive its energy. Even during the afternoon one can appreciate the Temple - it is such an amazing place.

So if you need a bit of peace and quiet away from the bustling streets of Cuzco, this is a great way to spend your day.
