Paucartambo
It is true that Paucartambo is not the jungle properly but the last part of the highlands of Cusco. Paucartambo is, undoubtly, one of the ""diamonds"" of peruvian culture. Its old bridge, its beautiful church, narrow and stony streets, small squares and big houses with balconies and wide halls: Paucartambo still keeps a strong colonial air. Besides, it is one of the towns with more dancers and dances associated to the Corpus and the pilgrimage of Qoyllur Ritti.
From this town, the road goes up towards Acjanaco and Tres Cruces (in the south borders of the National Park of Manu) from where we can admire the most beautiful sunrises in the world. From Acjanaco we go down by the valley of Kosñipata as far as the village of Atalaya
