Inka Raqay
Incarracay
An Inca waystation on a ridge west of the city, overlooking the entire Cochabamba Valley. It suits short hikes and sunrise viewing.
Incarracay is an Inca-era site on a ridge near the western town of Sacaba. It is thought to have been a waystation or storehouse along the Inca road, with clearly visible stone walls, houses, and plaza layout. The site sits at about 3,300 meters. The hike from the foot of the hill takes about 1 to 1.5 hours and offers views of the Cochabamba Valley and Tunari, especially spectacular at sunrise. It is about 30 kilometers from the city center. Transportation is inconvenient, so it is best to hire a car or join a local tour, and bring plenty of water.
