Description
Embark on a full-day adventure to the Andean highlands and explore the Vilcanota Mountain Range. Visit the town of Ccatcca, enjoy a traditional breakfast with a local family, and hike to the Ninaparayoc viewpoint. Start your day with a pick-up from your hostel in Cusco and head south of the city. Pass through picturesque villages and landscapes and witness the old Peruvian culture and traditions reflected in the locals' colorful costumes and homes. Stop briefly in the town of Ccatcca and visit its square and some of its narrow streets that further embellish the ancient place. Continue on the interoceanic road that connects Peru with its neighboring country Brazil until you reach the municipality of Pacchanta. In the town, located more than 4000 meters above sea level, a local family will welcome you to their home and serve you a nutritious breakfast with Andean ingredients. After learning more about this charming place, drive to the Vilcanota Mountain Range, from where you can appreciate the snow-capped Ausangate, one of the most spectacular glaciers that feeds the simmering lagoons you’ll visit during your trip. Begin the first part of your hike with a climb of about 3½ hours to reach the Ninaparayoc viewpoint. On the way, pass Comercocha and Alqacocha, two lakes with shimmering green and turquoise water which are located at the foot of the mystical Callangate glacier. On the way back to Pacchanta, pass by the other lagoons: Patacocha, Otorongococha, and Azulcocha. Take the chance to let the beauty and power of nature work its magic on you and take some pictures. Before diving into the famous and relaxing thermo-medicinal waters of Pacchanta, return to your host family's house to savor a delicious lunch. After this remarkable experience, drive back to Cusco and be dropped off at your hostel.Includes
