Itinerary

600 min

We will have our breakfast at a restaurant and this is where the trek starts. We set off uphill alongside a babbling mountain stream and herds of alpaca into the next valley. Here, weather permitting, you may get your first glimpse of our target. The trek up to the mountain will take around 2 hours from here depending on your fitness level. Up on top, we will take a well-deserved break and have some snacks. This is also your opportunity to catch your breath and enjoy the stunning views. This is where you will be so glad you brought your camera! After this we will set of on the trek back down to the trailhead (about 2 hours). This part of the trek you will find much easier. Back in the mountain community you will have lunch at our restaurant placed in Anchipata and take a bit more time to relax. The driver and our private vehicle are waiting to take you back to Cusco (3hr) for a drop-off at Plaza Regocijo arriving around 5 pm
