What to expect
Curved stone walls and sculptures give local music and history a face. Parque de la Identidad Wanka makes a worthwhile first stop, not just a box between journeys. Leave the rest of the day for the city; exploring the wider valley deserves its own day.
How it fits into a journey
Two nights allow time for the city and a chosen valley outing; count travel days separately.
