CULTURAL & TREKKING DAY TOUR IN SARAGURO

Early in the morning, we will depart to Saraguro. It´s located between Cuenca and Loja where you will discover one of the most important indigenous centers of South America. The native Saraguros still maintain their Inca roots through the Quichua language and traditional dress code, local constructions and gastronomy

Once we get to Saraguro, we meet a native guide, who will take us to the community of Gera (small traditional village), where you can enjoy the most picturesque and interesting Andean landscapes in the area: low hills, small canyons and valleys. In Gera, you will visit a small house-museum to become acquainted with the way of life of its people and taste the typical drink called “Huajango”

Then we will hike to The Pucara, it´s an important place strategically located as an observatory for war or spiritually sacred. At the Pucara point- view, we appreciate the Yunguilla Valley and discover this historic Inca fortress.

After this amazing visit we will return to Saraguro town and visit a textile workshop where we will have a demonstration of the different types of looms. We will have lunch in a local restaurant and return to Cuenca.
