Trekking, Camping, Biking and Horse riding

(4Days/3Nights)

A good chance to explore the mountains on your own feet (trekking), on someone else’s (horse riding) and on wheels! (Biking) This is a four day trip: first trekking, then biking, then horse riding and finally trekking again.

In four days you will complete a trip with the most amazing Andean views and experience a different way to explore the Mountain areas. Description: The first day will take you trekking to mountain lakes and camping just below the glaciers.

The trek is a good chance to get adapted to the altitude; we will be walking above 4200mts and camping at about 4400mts above sea level. The second day starts with an energetic breakfast then, after packing, a bit of trekking over a mountain pass and down to find your bikes ready to ride around the Andean mountains for about 2hours.

After a short walk we arrive at our shepherd friends hut to have lunch, and later in the afternoon we go to explore another mountain lake. Here it is possible to try fishing for trout. In the evening you can enjoy the arrival of the llamas to their shelters, and then some nice dinner shared with the locals.

Tonight we sleep under a sky full of stars, some shooting in front of your eyes! The third day will be an interesting morning as we look at the routine of the shepherds milking their cows and watching the llamas waking up and moving slowly to their pasture fields as we travelers try to find our socks and flashlights… After breakfast we are ready to start our horse riding trip. After sorting the horses and basic instructions, the horses will take you up the mountains for an incredible ride below the line of the glaciers. A box lunch will be served at about 1pm, then back onto the horses and onwards to enjoy the change of landscape as we go up and down the mountains arriving finally at another shepherds hut in an incredible location. 

Now it is time to relax and enjoy after a great horse riding day.

The fourth day starts with a good breakfast and packing to leave for a beautiful walk in the mountains. After passing a lake and a high pass we will walk all the way down to a small village. Along the way as we go down from 4350mts above sea level to 3800mts, we will enjoy the change of landscape as we walk.

You will see waterfalls, streams, potato fields and friendly locals to finally finish the trip in the middle of the little main square of this remote village. Here, transport will be ready to take us back all the way to Huancayo after lunch. In the evening, after you have had your showers and feel like new, we will get together at La Cabaña to chat and flavor again our trip around a table with some beers and the best pizza in Peru.
