Along the way, two Inca ruins, Phuyupatamarka and Intipata, will be explored, with the guide providing insights into each site. Upon reaching Intipata ruins, the last campsite becomes visible, and after a brief explanation from the guide, arrival at the campsite is around 12:30 p.m. After lunch, guests can shower and relax with a siesta until about 4 p.m., when a short hike to explore the Inca ruins of Wiñaywayna is planned, allowing free time for photography. Returning to the campsite, farewells are made to the dedicated porters, and dinner is enjoyed before retiring early to prepare for the next day’s adventures.
