Also you wil appreciate llamas and alpacas that graze throughout the valley. Occasionally we will be observing local people moving for their daily activities.

The ascent of the route will take us a total of 2 hours approximately, taking us to our final destination the highest point of our trek, Vinincunca or Rainbow Mountain, Here we will stop to admire and appreciate the outstanding views that we will find in all directions and also the rare geological formations with exotic colors.
