When I started to appreciate the real value of simplicity and the way that people can be happy in their environment, my senses opened to their beliefs, and my respect for them too. Nature is a source of good energy and it´s nice that we are now aware of ecology and a respect for nature. With this trip, we will learn to love and appreciate what we have, and enjoy every day life a little bit more."
Lucho Hurtado

We will begin our drive along the Shullcas River. As we climb the winding road to Acopalca, located at 3500 meters above sea level, we’ll take note of the change in ecology. Here the ichu grass, trees and other vegetation are replaced by curious cactus and bromilieas hanging from the rocky crag of the mountain.
