This short, but beautiful trek will take you to one of the most traditional areas where people live very much like their Inca ancestors, live in stone and adobe homes with thatch roofs, weave much of their clothing and work the land with foot plows. A very enjoyable natural hot spring bath is a welcoming reward after the walk.
