Day 1 - Cachora (2850 m / 9350 ft) to Huarac Punku (3100 m / 10170 ft) to Apurimac River (1550 m / 5085 ft)
We were picked up at 430 in the morning and driven to Cachora. We stopped at Tarahuasi near Limatambo where we saw a great example of Inca stonework. Unfortunately we didn't appreciate how fine it was at that time. Part of the road was washed out along the way because of rain storms and we had to get off the van and walk across the flooded part. We arrived at Cachora around 1030 and started hiking around 11. During the entire trip, lunch break was about an hour. The descent was fairly long and we reached our campsite only around 1800 when it was starting to get dark.
