We start this unforgettable adventure bright and early! At 4:30 am, we’ll pick you up right from your hotel in Cusco and head towards the small Andean community of Pacchanta, nestled at over 4,300 metres above sea level at the foot of the sacred Apu Ausangate. On the way, you can relax, take a nap, or simply enjoy the peaceful beauty of the mountains, valleys, and charming local villages. By 7:30 am, we arrive in Pacchanta, where a warm cup of coca or muña tea and a light breakfast will be waiting for you. After that, you’ll meet your horse and friendly local muleteer who will guide you through this special journey.

You’ll visit Azulcocha, Otorongo, Orco Otorongo, Alqacocha, Qomercocha, Pucacocha, and Patacocha, all surrounded by glaciers and pure mountain silence.

Around 11:30 am, we’ll take a well-deserved break for a picnic lunch right in nature. Spread out on colourful Andean blankets, you’ll enjoy a tasty and healthy meal made with local ingredients: quinoa with veggies or an Andean omelette, artisanal cheese, homemade jam with mountain bread, seasonal fruits, lemonade or juice, and coca or muña tea. Simple, fresh, and delicious—just how nature intended. If you're travelling between May and November, you'll be treated to our special seasonal picnic, featuring a glass of regional wine to toast the experience, along with a selection of hot and cold drinks to suit the mountain weather. It’s a cosy and flavourful break that makes this moment even more memorable.
