Como llegar a Rupac sin guía o tour

Para los que desean aventurarse y viajar a Rupac sin la necesidad de pagarle a una compañía de tours acá les dejo los costos y como llegar hasta el Machu Picchu Limeño.

Encontraran el ZBus que sale de Acho a un costo de 7.50 soles o puedes encontrar los colectivos que te llevan por 15 soles por persona. Llegando puedes agarrar una mototaxi que te llevara por 1 sol por persona hasta el paradero de taxis que te llevan con dirección a Pampas. Los colectivos hacia Pampas cobran un aproximado de 25 soles por persona, asegurarse de conversar con el chofer para que también los recoja al día siguiente. El chofer hará una parada en la Florida para que paguen en ingreso a Rupac que tiene un costo de 10 soles y si desean almorzar en Pampas el menú les costara 8 soles.

Les recomiendo comprar snacks y agua antes de tomar el colectivo hacia Pampas ya que seria una manera de no solo ahorrar dinero en comida pero siendo la caminata de aproximadamente 3 horas (aproximado de 8 kilómetros) necesitaran comidas ligeras. Yo en lo personal recomiendo frutas, atún, y galletas porque en Rupac encontraras puestos vendiendo caldo y choclo con queso.

Decidí hacer este blog porque estuve averiguando sobre el viaje antes de hacerlo y algo que me parece importa y no encontré en otros blogs es que Rupac solo abre fines de semana, así que si deseas conocer Rupac asegurate de ir un fin de semana ya que no encontraras colectivos que te lleven hacia Pampas. Por ultimo, una información muy importante es siempre tener en cuenta que existe la posibilidad de que llueva (posibilidades muy altas) y por la altura en la que se encuentra Rupac, la temperatura baja a por lo menos 5 grados centígrados así que asegurate de ir preparado para el frio y la lluvia. Una vez en Rupac, encontraras gente que renta colchones, frazadas, y plástico para cubrir tu carpa. También no quisiera dejar de decirles que el uso de los baños es de 1 sol.

Espero mi blog sea de mucha ayuda para ustedes y no dejen de viajar y disfrutar que podemos perder todo menos lo vivido. 

Travel to Rupac without a guide or tour

For those that would like to be adventurous and travel to Rupac without having to pay a guide or a tour company; I'll leave you an approximate of what it would cost and tips of how you get to the Machu Picchu Limeño.

You'll find the company ZBus that leaves from Acho and has a cost of 7.50 soles (one way) or you can also take a colectivo (similar to a taxi) that will take you to Huaral faster but it will cost you 15 soles (one way). Once you're in Huaral take a mototaxi to paradero de taxis towards Pampas that will cost you 1 sol per person. There you will find collectives (taxis) that charge 25 soles per person, but you need to make sure you speak to the driver so he drives you back to Huaral the next day. The driver will make a stop in La Florida to pay for the ticket to Rupac which costs 10 soles. Keep in mind that the ride from Huaral to Pampas is about 2 and a half hours and trekking from Pampas to Rupac is an approximate of 3 hours so you might want to eat in Pampas before heading to Rupac. Menu in Pampas costs 8 soles and I definitely recommend sharing a menu with someone since you'll get soup and a main entrance (you don't want to be super full before starting the 3 hour walk). I recommend buying snacks and water before heading to Pampas, it will be a way of saving up some money in food. I personally suggest buying fruits, tuna, and crackers.

I decided to make this blog because I did some research about Rupac before making the trip and there are 2 things I find highly important that I did not find in any of the blogs I read about Rupac. First thing to keep in mind is that Rupac is only open on the weekend, so if you were planning on going on a weekday please DO NOT GO it will be a waste of your time. You won't have taxis to Pampas on weekdays. Second, it's important to keep in mind that there's a high chance of rain on your way up to Rupac and while you're in Rupac; also, temperatures drop to about 5 degrees Celsius at night so it gets pretty cold. Make sure you have the proper clothing and extra clothing in case your clothes get wet or it gets too cold. Once you get to Rupac, you'll have people from the village up there renting mattresses, blankets, and plastic to cover your tent. Indeed, I wouldn't want to leave without saying that the use of the bathrooms cost 1 sol.

I hope my blog was of great help for all of you that took the time to read it and to remind you that you should never stop traveling and enjoying life because we are capable of losing anything expect the experiences you live and enjoy.
