We start the journey from the hotel and then, we continue towards the tourist attraction where we are going to be welcome by a musical band in the Abra Cuyuni. Then, we engage in a mythical ritual. The ritual is an act of thankfulness to the land of the Apus and Pachamama. Among the activities, we observe a demonstration of agriculture activities such as the harvest of the land, selection of potatoes, the llamas carrying potatoes bags, and stocking of potatoes and more. Later on, we continue our journey accompanied by local guides and translators, where we are going to be invited to taste “Huatita Andina”, which is a cooked potato with local hot sauce and cheese. Also, the itinerary includes a demonstration of handmade traditional weaving and dyeing, as well as participating in the Llama fest known as “Llama Pilluy”. The Llama Pilluy is a ceremony to the Alfa male of the Llamas, which are considered the camels of South-America. We continue our visit to a local handcraft store in the community to get some souvenirs. Then, we enjoy a delicious buffet Novo-Andino (Neo-Andean)in the restaurant Mirador de Cuyuni along with hot drinks. The distance from Cusco to Urcos is about 70 km (1.5 hour by car).
