Taquesi Inka Trail -2DAY

2 Days

Takesi Inca Trail

Takesi Inca Trail is known as one of the most impressively engineered Inca trails. This once very important link between the Andean highlands and the Yungas subtropics remains one of the best paved pre-Colombian paths. The trek is mostly downhill and is one of the shorter Inca trails. We offer this trek as both a more strenuous 2 day trek or as a more leisurely 3 day trek.

  • Private transport for the group
  • May to October

Day 1: La Paz to San Francisco Mine to Estancia Takesi

Day 2:  Estancia Takesi to Chojlla Mine to La Paz

Itinerary

We will pick you up at your hotel in La Paz and proceed by private transport to the San Francisco Mine, where we will begin our trek. Our trek will begin with an uphill section until we reach the 4600 meter pass, an area with impressive Inca paving. From the pass, we will descend to Estancia Takesi, an ancient village home to llama and alpaca herders. We will advance a bit beyond the village to our campsite, where we will have dinner and spend the night in tents. Our total trekking time for the day will be around 4 hours.

Our trek today takes us through increasingly lush vegetation as we descend into warmer climes and enjoy denser tropical vegetation alongside the trail. Often walking alongside crystal clear rivers and with views of the lower valleys, we will reach the mining village of Chollja. Our private transport will meet us there for the return trip to La Paz.
