The Province of Acomayo is home to the Waqrapukara Trek, a wonderful architectural building that presents this little-known destination, offering the best way to experience this thrilling adventure.
Waqrapukara translated into Spanish means "Waqra = Horn", "Pukara = Fortress". This place was previously inhabited by the Qanchis ethnic group and later conquered by the Incas, which maintains a pre-Inca and Inca construction, with a fine finish in the main square. Also, it presents a double jamb door at the entrance, where we deduce that it was a sacred place.
