Huaro. From Urcos, we will start going uphill until reaching the highland savannah. Later, the Cordillera

Vilcanota will appear in the distance, with mount Ausangate and mount Jampa clearly visible until we

will pass throw Tinki town. Beginning the trek we will cross the Ocongate river and start traversing the

puna (highland meadows), until we reach the foot of the Ausangate where the panorama of snowcapped

peaks becomes breathtaking. We will camp at Upis, where the hot springs will make it a great place to

relax after the rigors of the day. (Lunch / Dinner)

the south eastern ridge of Mount Ausangate on the Cordillera Vilcanota is absolutely amazing. Then,

Hiking up the Jampa valley we will quite likely be able to meet highland shepherds tending their sheep

and alpaca, spinning and weaving their wool into cloth with the peaks of Jampa and Colquecruz acting
