On the first day of this tour, you should be ready to be picked up from your hotel at 3.00 am

It will be a beautiful 2-and-a-half-hour ride passing through the lovely Vilcanota Valley on the way to arrive at the starting point of the trek.

Once at the beginning of the walking trail we’ll do 5 km of trekking that will take us about 2 hours to get to the top.
