Tinki minibus stop (to Ocongate and Cusco)
- Transfer
- Not confirmed by the operator — check first
Minibuses and colectivos leave from the Tinki plaza for Ocongate, Urcos and Cusco (about 3 hours, S/15-20) from early morning; departures are irregular after midday, so finish early. Taxis to Pacchanta or Upis (S/30-50 per car) wait here too.
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "not confirmed by the operator" are listed on OpenStreetMap or in hiker reports but could not be checked on an official page. Between Upis and Pacchanta there are only campsites at 4,400-4,700 m, so carry a 4-season tent and a warm sleeping bag. Local families often charge a small fee to camp: pay in cash, in soles.
