Exploration Path
After going on several explorations at over 4,000 m.a.s.l., early in the morning on the fifth day we head to the community of Cuncani, a 3-hour drive away, to begin the climb up to the Chicón Glacier. From here we cross the ice and snow using technical gear and will have a great view of the Sacred Valley and the Maras plateau. The descent is through a Queñoa forest.
This exploration requires a minimum of 5 nights and is available from June to September.
Towering titans that reach into the clouds above, defying altitude and gravity in order to provide a vital experience of heaven on Earth for all who venture their slopes.
