Tour Highlights

The level grasslands direct us on our trek. At the end while we descend, we see various farmland areas, bringing color to slopes and valleys. The locals live in simple dwellings made from adobe and quincha and keep alive rich traditions and customs which have been passed on from their ancestors. Their lifestyle is peaceful and devoted to work in the fields. Nourishment is derived exclusively from their harvest products, which they also barter. These small villages are friendly to tourists. After passing through some of these Andean communities, we will walk up until reaching our objective. This is where our trek comes to an end and our transportation service arranged by MOUNTCLIMB TRAVEL AND ADVENTURE will be waiting to take us back to Huaraz. However, first we will stop at the Portachuelo Pass , at 4,800 m .(15,744 ft.). A fascinating view of the Llanganuco Valley , neighboring glacial peaks and impressive rock pillars will amaze with the beauty of its surroundings.The Lakes Llanganuco resemble two large mirrors in the valley which reflect the beauty of the several peaks including Huandoy, Huascaran , Chacraraju and Chopicalqui.
