Join the adventure with a 4 am pickup and a drive to Quesiuno, the starting point of the trek. We'll kick off with a delectable breakfast made by our chef and safety instructions from the guide. Then, we'll traverse a green and reddish valley up to the Puka Pass, observing lovely alpacas on the way. Once we reach the pass, we'll enjoy the first sight of the Ausangate Mountain and the Pukaqocha lagoon on its base. It'll be the perfect place to immerse in its captivating allure and profound energy. After capturing the views, we'll continue to the lunch spot and the Warmisaya Pass.
