Follow directions for the 'Inti Punku' hike I describe in an earlier blog post. Basically, cross the Inca Bridge outside of Ollanta and then turn right. After about a quarter mile you should look for a small trail turn off on your right. There is no sign and I would recommend going with somebody who has been there before as otherwise you will not be able to find it.
We had been to Machu Picchu the day before and were quite sore. We wanted to do a hike that was both relatively flat and simple but would also give us a chance to stretch our legs and recuperate in a beautiful location. The 'Inca Pool' was exactly what we were looking for. Fed by pristine water carried via Secia from the tops of the Andes this pristine pool is maintained by locals and boasts impressive views of the valley below and Nevado Veronica above (not pictured due to overcast skies, but on a clear day it would be visible in this shot).
The water quite literally took my breath away! A clear and deep pool. So refreshing.
Thank you for this information! Couldn't fine any more info about this reservoir in the net. But the place is worth visiting.
ReplyDeleteThe directions are enough. Yeah, when you turn to the right after the bridge, it is about 30 mins walking. And the path Will come up and in and when you see bunch of trees on your right then you should search for the turn off (as I counted it was 3d turn off to the right, but I may be wrong..)
Anyway, maybe these directions will help anyone else.
And thank you for unravelling this beautiful place!
Yay! Super glad you found it and had a great time
