This fascinating adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel. We will take you on a two-and-a-half-hour drive to Cusipata for an energizing breakfast. Then, we will continue by road towards Sicuani, appreciating the great blue lagoon of Langui in the distance, which stretches for more than 15 km; we will pass close to its shores before continuing to the starting point in Layo.
Once there, we will begin a challenging uphill hike for approximately two hours. We will walk through a path full of grasslands, impressive reddish soils, accompanied by the typical fauna of the area: alpacas, llamas, and if we are lucky, we will see kestrels, peregrine falcons or the famous condor flying in the air. When we reach Pallay Punchu del Apu Taqllo, which translated from Quechua means “woven poncho”, you will be able to climb the ridges and feel like you are flying over the surface of another planet.
