Just uphill from the ferry dock at Yumani, along the beautifully reconstructed Escalera del Inca (Inca Stairway), you’ll pass plenty of terraced gardens, small shops and hotels. It’s a lung buster that gains almost 200m in elevation over less than 1km, so take your time – or hire donkeys (B$30) to carry your pack.
Pay your admission fee at the dock for access to the stairway and village.
