The Inca town that never sold a ticket

≈ 3,500 steps + 5.3 mi by car1.6 mi on foot · a full dayAdvanced · 6 stops · 800 credGetting there is not the hard part.

A full day in the valley town the Machupicchu trains leave from, where the Inca grid is still lived in and only the terraces are ticketed. Pinkuylluna's storehouses on the mountain, the double doorway at the east edge, then a colectivo to Pachar and the railside walk out to the cave altar at Ñaupa Iglesia. Start early; the last train back is your clock.

Earned in the field. You can't buy this one.
