Your guide will greet you with a steaming mug of tea or coffee as you awaken to a serene morning before breakfast. Energized and ready for our second day, we embark on a 7-hour hike heading northeast. The trail begins with a challenging ascent, leading us over high passes towards the pinnacle of our trek, Pachacutec Pass (4,500m / 14,800 ft). Along the way, majestic views of glaciers, remote lakes, herds of alpacas, rugged valleys, and stunning mountain panoramas will inspire you. Keep an eye out for Caracara falcons and Andean geese soaring above!

After reaching the summit, we descend for 3 hours until we reach our campsite near the Quiswarani community (3,700m / 12,139ft). Along this isolated trail, we’ll encounter indigenous highland people in traditional attire, tending to their llamas and alpacas. You’ll have the opportunity to interact with these locals in Quechua, the language of the Incas, with your guide serving as interpreter and offering insights into the culture. As you approach the spectacular Seven Waterfalls, you’ll know you’re nearing the campsite!

Upon arrival at the campsite, everything will be prepared for your comfort. Enjoy hot beverages and appetizers before a satisfying dinner, followed by a cozy night’s rest.
