The Pakaymayu originates in the Willkapampa mountain range northeast of Sallqantay (Salkantay) and north of P'allqay (Paljay) near the Warmi Wañusqa pass, the archaeological site of Runkuraqay and the Runkuraqay pass. Its direction is mainly to the northeast, almost parallel to the Kusichaka River east of it. The confluence with the Willkanuta River is west of the village of Pampa Q'awa (Pampacahua).

Inca Trail experience

Our experience with our tour guide Percy, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as accommodating the needs of our family. The diversity of food and hospitality as well as the eagerness of the staff to help with the set up was very much appreciated...
