Incallajta Ruins Tour

1. Cochabamba - Incallajta Ruins

The citadel of Incallajta was built around 1470 AD by the Inca Tupac Yupanqui. According to the chroniclers of the colonial era, it was built to establish order at the empire’s eastern border and stop the hostile incursions of Amazonian tribes into the fertile valleys of Pocono and the western valleys of Cochabamba. Incallajta is the largest and most representative Inca site of the former province of "Collasuyo".

The citadel holds characteristics of a city with diverse functions (political, administrative, ritual, military, and domestic), represented in its various sectors and structures. On June 20/21 and December 20/21 each year, rituals are staged at the ruins to celebrate the winter and summer solstice.

After the guided tour of the ruins, we visit a Quechua family, share lunch with them, and get some insights into the life of the indigenous farmers in the region. In the afternoon we return to Cochabamba and transfer to the hotel or airport. End of our services
