    \ud83e\udded Where is Kallachaka located?<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    K'allachaka is located in the San Sebasti\u00e1n district and forms part of the Sacsayhuam\u00e1n Archaeological Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It sits on a high mountain on the left bank of the river bearing the same name as the complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f How to get to Kallachaka?<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Before starting the tour, it is important to note that K'allachaka is located in a rural-urban area. There are therefore several ways to get there<\/strong>, depending on your available time, budget and how much walking you want to do. The main access routes are presented below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Ruta<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Through the entrance to Inkilltambo<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    One of the easiest ways to get there is to use the entrance that leads to Inkilltambo<\/a>. Go downhill and you will come to a small tower. Turning right here will take you across the terraces and to the pyramid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are two ways to reach the entrance: you can arrive by vehicle or take a short uphill walk. You can access it via Circunvalaci\u00f3n Street<\/strong> or Collasuyo Street<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    From the lower ravine<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    If you are looking to escape the usual flow of visitors, this little used route will immerse you in a small forest where time seems to stand still. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As you walk through familiar terrain and hear the sound of a hidden waterfall, you will reach the base of K'allachaka, where you can admire the magnitude of its terraces from a unique vantage point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To take this route, go down the stairs at the end of Dirigentes<\/strong>, turn left, and follow the path through the forest to the terraces. Climb up to reach the path that leads to the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Through Wakapunku<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Otra forma sencilla y que te har\u00e1 llegar a la pir\u00e1mide circular es usar la ruta que cruza Wakapunku, siguiendo el camino que se conecta con la ruta CU-1110, podr\u00e1s cruzar por Hatun Plaza y continuar tu camino a l complejo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Para salir del lugar puedes usar la entrada de Inkilltambo<\/a> o de Wakapunku. Obviamente dependiendo la entrada que usaste:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
