Puka pukara means “red fortress”, because the calcareous stones with which it is built have acquired the reddish coloration of the terrain, very abundant in iron. It is alleged that it had the function of protecting Tambomachay, an important palace in the Incario. But that, in turn, for its architectural layout and the existence of fountains, aqueducts and multiple enclosures, was a “tambo” that is, a collective shelter that offered inn and food to travelers, as well as the entourage that was to accompany to the Inca in his retirement in Tambomachay.

  Me encantó haber contactado esta agencia, Javier el encargado fue muy atento, servicial y nos brindó una informacion muy detallada acerca de nuestro trekking a Salkantay, todo el servicio fue... read more muy genuino desde el primer dia hasta que regresamos, ya que nos estaba esperando para llevarnos hacia nuestro hotel. Lo mejor de todo fue darme cuenta que estuvimos con una agencia local y que el dinero es un aporte a personas de la region y no a empresas privadas. Tuvimos unos guias excelentes y una experiencia memorable.... Gracias Pacha Expeditions!!!
