Cuzco – Urcos – Quesiuno – Llamachimpana (B/L/D)
We will pick you up early from your Cuzco accommodation (between 7:00 - 7:30 hrs) and set out on a drive through the South Valley. We'll enjoy lunch in Pitumarca and then continue our trip to the trailhead at Quesoyuni (4,326 m / 14,189 ft). We will hike through villages and interact with the local residents. We might also have the opportunity to see adorable chinchillas and vicunas (the latter being the only non-domesticated animal of the llama family in Peru). After a hike of 3-4 hours, we will reach our camp, near the village of Llamachimpana. When night falls, we will have a serene night's sleep under the stars.
