Description
Start your adventure very early at 4:00 AM, when we'll pick you up at your hotel and then head south to the village of Cusipata to enjoy a delicious all-you-can-eat breakfast. We'll then continue by road, passing through the village of Marangani and reaching the end of the road, which is the bus parking area.
Once there, you'll get a brief explanation from your expert guide on the route. You'll then set off on an uphill hike of about 40 minutes, following a trail through grasslands and reddish soils, accompanied by the area's wildlife, including llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and local birds, until you reach the summit of Mount Pallay Punchu and enjoy a privileged view of Lake Langui-Layo.
Once you reach the top, you'll have a break, and your tour guide will give you an explanation of the area's geography and the importance of this mountain. You'll be able to take your best photos and videos, and you can do some rock climbing on these rocky lands that seem to be from another planet, which stand out for their perfectly sculpted lines that look like an Andean poncho.
After enjoying the experience and the panoramic views, you'll begin the descent to return to the starting point, where transportation awaits to take you back to the town of Cusipata for a delicious buffet lunch. You'll then return to Cusco, arriving at approximately 5:00 pm, where we'll drop you off very close to the Plaza de Armas.
