A magnificent trek. The true image of the high Andes. One of the most spectacular Andean trekking adventures. You will have the chance to meet traditional, native Quechua Indians who live at 14,000 feet, tending their herds of llamas and alpacas. They live in an isolated region of the Cordillera Vilcanota among sparkling glaciers, colorful lakes and relaxing hot springs. You will also have a good chance of encountering condors, the world's largest flying bird, and other Andean fauna such as vicuña, practically extinct elsewhere.

Although you will be hiking at altitudes of 3,800 meters, once you are acclimatized, the trek is considered a moderate one. We have animals to carry all your luggage and a bilingual professional guide, plus camp crew that will tend to all our needs.

Imagine going through a country of glacial lakes, deep red cliffs, sparkling glaciers and relaxing hot springs, all within an Andean atmosphere.

Most local inhabitants do not speak Spanish, only the ancient Quechua tongue. They dress in beautiful hand woven ponchos and take care of their herds of llamas and alpacas.

You will also have close encounters with native fauna, such as the marmot like Vizcacha. You will catch sight of a herd of rare Vicuña, a wild relative of the Llama, high Andean birds such as geese, puna ibis, caracara hawks, torrent ducks and the majestic Andean Condor.
