ITINERARY
Duration: All day ( 7 am to 18 pm approx.)
Departure from Cusco towards KinsaCocha Lake. Beautiful natural spot hidden and little frequented. Upon arrival, we will take a short walk to have a panoramic view of the lake and the surrounding mountains.

Then, we head to the Potato Park. Here we will learn about the history of this world famous tuber that was domesticated in the middle of the Peruvian Andes. We will see different shapes, colors and sizes of this food, thanks to the recovery work of the community we visit.

Afterwards, the people of the community themselves will offer us a lunch prepared with their own production. The potato will be the special guest !!!!
