Every September 14, thousands of people walk 48 kilometers from the city of Cusco to the sanctuary of the Señor de Huanca, in the district of San Salvador, province of Calca, at 3,100 m.a.s.l. It is neither a tourist trekking trip nor an organized tour: it is a genuine pilgrimage that sets off at night from San Jerónimo and arrives at dawn on the main day. Here we explain the route, what it physical demands, and why this tradition continues to draw devotees from all over Peru and neighboring countries.
Planning your trip to Peru? Discover the best ways to reach Machu Picchu from Cusco. Compare options by train, bus, budget routes, and legendary trekking trails like the Inca Trail and Salkantay.
With the national holiday on August 6 (Battle of Junín) right around the corner, many travelers are organizing last-minute visits to Machu Picchu. Before buying, there is a rule that causes more trouble than it seems: the ticket is personal, unique, and non-transferable. Learn how this rule works at the checkpoint, why you cannot give your ticket away, and how to avoid inconveniences to enjoy your trip to the sanctuary with complete peace of mind.
