The name of this trek refers to the magnificent Inca construction of WIÑAYWAYNA consisting on towers, semicircular terraces and houses.

This mini-Trek has been designed to easy insert in any regular itinerary where you can combine conventional and adventure activities. After meeting our porters you start walking up into the cloud-forested mountainsides to join the main trail and descend into the Lost City on foot.
