Day 2:

Ayapata – Warmiwañusca – Pacaymayu

After breakfast, we begin one of the most challenging and iconic sections of the trek: the ascent to Warmiwañusca Pass, known as Dead Woman’s Pass.

From the summit, enjoy breathtaking views of the Veronica snow-capped peak and the surrounding valleys.

We then descend to the Pacaymayu campsite, where lunch is served and we spend the night, surrounded by nature and a unique silence beneath the stars.

The third day is considered the most beautiful of the journey, with constantly changing scenery from the high Andes to the tropical cloud forest.

We visit the archaeological sites of Runkurakay, Sayacmarca and Phuyupatamarca—three Inca gems that showcase remarkable engineering and a deep spiritual connection with nature.

After lunch, we continue to our final campsite at Wiñay Wayna, a magical place surrounded by orchids and waterfalls.
