Our adventure begins in the city of Cusco with pick-up at 4:30 am (time when we will pick you up at your hotel) by our guide together with our driver. Then we head to the small town of Cusipata, where we will have breakfast. We continue the journey to the beautiful Langui Lagoon and the small village of Layo. Along the route, we will see beautiful landscapes and animals such as llamas, alpacas, and some local villages of the region.
When we arrive in Layo, we will begin the hike up the mountain. The approximate walking time is 3 to 4 hours, and above 4,000 meters we will enjoy panoramic views, as well as the flora and fauna that this beautiful region offers. Finally, we will reach our destination: “Pallay Punchu of Apu T’acllo” or the Mountain of Sharp Peaks. Once there, we will have enough time to enjoy this incredible place.
After visiting Pallay Punchu of Apu T’acllo, we will return to the small town of Layo, where our transport will be waiting to take us back to Cusipata, where we will have lunch. We will also make some stops at viewpoints to appreciate the landscapes this region offers.
The trip ends in the city of Cusco in the evening.
