Ichupampa
A village on the north bank opposite Yanque, with a colonial church and community tourism. You can walk there from Yanque by crossing the Colca River suspension bridge.
Ichupampa lies on the north bank of the Colca River, facing Yanque across the water. You can walk there from Yanque over the suspension bridge and then along a terraced path for about an hour, or cycle from Coporaque along the north-bank road. The village's Church of San Juan dates from the colonial era, and its plaza is quiet. Some families run community tourism, where visitors can try weaving and traditional farm work. It suits travelers who want to stay two or more days in the Chivay–Yanque area and avoid tour groups. It can be combined with the Uyo Uyo ruins and Coporaque into a day of trekking.
