The most contemplative day

This is the most contemplative day in the catalogue. We start at Lake Qoricocha, high on the plateau above Cusco, where the water reflects the hills and all you hear is wind and grazing herds.

From there we cross the Andean páramo on wide tracks and gentle dirt roads, among pastures, springs and herding communities, with the motor doing the climbing.

From the plateau above Cusco to Lake Huaypo

We start at Lake Qoricocha, high on the plateau above Cusco, and cross the Andean páramo on wide tracks and gentle dirt roads, among pastures, springs and herding communities.

The second stop is Lake Piuray, which supplies Cusco with water, surrounded by terraces and crops beside Chinchero. The day ends at Lake Huaypo, the most open of the three, with the Chicón and Verónica glaciers behind: we have lunch there and leave the afternoon free for paddleboarding.
