Itinerary
1
Urcos
The route reaches great heights between 4710m and 5200m for stunning eagle eye views. Explore this route and it's likely that you will have this extension to the south all to yourself, encountering few or no other route hikers. The Vinicunca one-day tour is able to offer travelers an alternative trail that is paramount to other trips and destinations.
You will be picked up from your hotel at 4:30am and head south through the town of Urco to the Cecacupe District (2 hours by bus) and then follow the path to Piturmata. Continue along the road through small villages until you arrive at the community of Hanchipata Quesuno (1 hour and 20 minutes by bus), the ideal starting point to walk the route. You will see many mountains such as Ausangate, beautiful blue lagoons, and many other natural sites.
