This is a very unique and exclusive experiences. As it is on private land, only Puma Path Adventures can take you to the sacred lake as well as Antanuca and Yachaywaysi, the ancient Incan school. Yanaqocha means a black lake in the Quechua language (Incan language) it was built by the Incans as a reservoir for the Temple of the Sun because of its pristine location. An added bonus is that when the water is still you will see an impressive reflection of the Andes mountains. Our Shaman will perform a purification ceremony for you from the sacred waters of Yanaqocha.
