The Tour Hike to Inkilltambo, is a little known place, very close to the city of Cusco, 30 min approx. However, in terms of mystery and energy, it is very rich, since it was built by the Inca culture for the purification of the soul, mind and body. Therefore, when it is visited by tourists, they say that they experience a great positive energy, tranquility and a lot of love. Likewise, it is an enclosure where mystical tourism is practiced, currently known as the CHOQUIQUIRAO valley. Although the valley was recently valued, studies indicate that this site was the main point of research and recreation in retreats of the Inca Empire. Finally, this site is perfect for all those people who love spiritism, astronomy and the Inca culture.
