Itinerary

Day
1

La Paz to Challapampa – Mountains and Inca Paving

We will pick you up from your hotel in the morning and drive for about 1 hour to La Cumbre (4700 meters). From La Cumbre, we will begin our trek. This section of the trek can be very cold in the morning hours and it is not uncommon to find snow and ice on the ground. We will ascend to a pass of 4900 meters, where we will begin our descent on a stone path paved by pre-Incan and Incan civilizations. After a trek of around 6 hours, we will arrive at the village of Challapampa where we will set up camp, have hot drinks, snacks, and dinner before spending the night in tents.
