Itinerary

Potato Park
In the morning you will be picked up from your hotel in Cusco or the Sacred Valley. Upon arrival at the potato park, you are welcomed by members of the community, who will provide an insight into their initiative and their daily life in the Andes region. Taste some potatoes before embarking on a hike around the park’s lagoons. You start at the Azul Cocha lagoon at around 4,050 m.a.s.l. (13,287 ft) and follow a path around the lake, which meanders then up to the Puma Cocha lagoon (4300 m.a.s.l or 14107 ft). From here you can enjoy a magnificent view of the surrounding mountain peaks. The path then leads you slowly downhill. You might pass some shepherds on the way, who graze their herds of llamas and alpacas on the steep terrain. Your hike ends at the sparkling dark blue lagoon Kinsa Cocha (4030 m.a.s.l. or 13221 ft), nestled in between Andean peaks, ochre earth, and potato fields. Finally, enjoy a delicious lunch before saying goodbye to your hosts and heading back to your hotel.
