First day

At 4.00 in the morning we go to San Pedro de Cachoras where we will first have breakfast. From here we have a beautiful view on the majestic Padrayoc (5'482 m). We continue the hike and have lunch near Playa Rosalina. During the hike we have an unforgettable view into the Apurimac Canyon. We walk about nine hours on the first day and eventually spend the first night in Santa Rosa.

Second day

Next day early in the morning we continue to Choquecuirao where we have some time to enjoy the site. If we are lucky we can observe some condors as well. We continue until Raqaypata where we will spend the night. Our guide will explain the history of this special place.
