DETAILED ITINERARY – 7-Color Mountain Trek

Our staff will pick you up soon at 3:30 a.m. to go up to the Quesiuno area. The journey to the starting point of the trail takes about 3 hours so you will have some time to go on sleeping in the car and save some energy for the hike. Along the way and as the sunrises, you will appreciate the shapes of the mountains; the trees and all nature come to life again. Once in Quesiuno, we will have our breakfast as our staff set up the stuff for the hike.

At around 7:00 in the morning, we will start the hike (you can get your trekking poles if you think you will need them). During the hike, we will appreciate different kinds of landscapes: high snowcapped mountains, small rivers, low mountains and families of llamas and alpacas. The Sun and the Apu Salcantay snow mountain will be our protectors during the three-hour hike. It is important to wear a hat and try some sunscreen!
