Itinerary and highlights

The tour begins between 04:00 and 04:30, the time when the transfer passes by your accommodation for the journey to Cusipata, a town located south of Cusco, where you will enjoy breakfast in the community of Tintinco.
From the town of Tintico, the one-hour ascent begins towards the Phulawasipata camp (4,600 masl / 15,091 ft).
When you arrive at the base, our professional guide offers instructions to continue the ascent that lasts an average of an hour and a half in the Peruvian Andes, observing imposing mountains and rocky hills with llamas and alpacas.
