CONSIDERATIONS

This is a challenging day of hiking. Hikers should be reasonably fit, and spend some time in Cusco to acclimate (we recommend 3 days in Cusco or similar elevation). The hike takes place over 5007m (16,600ft) and is about 6 kilometers in length (3.5 miles) in total length, with an elevation gain of 285m (950ft). The main reason this trek is difficult is because of the elevation. The terrain is a gradual climb and you are walking in a wide valley for the majority of the trek. Please consult your doctor for proper advice on trekking in high altitude.
