13 hours.
Suitable for travelers with moderate fitness who are acclimatized to high altitude; expect brief steep sections and cold winds.
The ascent is short (about 45–75 minutes) but occurs above 4,500 m; it feels strenuous if you’re not acclimatized, so pace yourself and use trekking poles.
The tour typically includes hotel pickup, breakfast in Collca, a buffet lunch, a bilingual professional guide, trekking sticks, and basic first aid.
Pickups start very early (around 3:30 AM) and the full experience runs roughly 12–13 hours including transport, trekking, and meal stops.
No; the operator advises against participation for pregnant travelers and those with significant cardiovascular or spinal issues due to altitude and terrain.
Local communities still perform offerings to the apus (sacred mountain spirits) and the route follows traditional grazing corridors used for generations.
High‑Andean puna is fragile: stick to trails, avoid disturbing grazing herds, and pack out all waste to protect water sources and native grasslands.
