Valleys and Canyons
Apurímac Canyon and Valley
|
|
An ideal spot for canoeing, with unique and incomparable rapids and waterfalls at high levels of difficulty. It is considered one of the broadest and most complete rivers for experts. The edges of the area mark the border between Cuzco and Apurímac departments, forming a deep canyon with a unique beauty.
Tourists can access the canyon after travelling two hours from Abancay. The canyon is at a height of 3,600 metres above sea level, with impressive landscapes like the Salcantay mountain chain and demarcated paths. It is a perfect area for trekking.
Close by are the Cconoc medicinal hot springs and the Choquequirao archaeological complex, considered the last bastion of the Incas, with terraces that seem to be suspended in the air.
Views of the landscape can be enjoyed from any of the viewpoints: Cóndor Huachana, San Cristóbal, Capitán Rumi, Taramocco, Capulioc, Kiuñalla, Cachicuna and Huascatay
Minimum visiting time: 1 day.
