- Pallay Poncho - This exciting journey begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel. You will embark on a two-and-a-half-hour drive to Cusipata for a refreshing breakfast. The journey continues by road towards Sicuani, where you can admire the expansive blue lagoon of Langui in the distance, stretching over 15 km. The route passes close to its shores before proceeding to the starting point in Layo.
Upon arrival, a challenging uphill hike of approximately two hours awaits. The path is adorned with grasslands and striking reddish soils, accompanied by the area’s typical wildlife: alpacas, llamas, and, if fortunate, sightings of kestrels, peregrine falcons, or the renowned condor soaring above. Upon reaching Pallay Punchu del Apu Taqllo, which translates from Quechua as “woven poncho,” you can climb the ridges and experience the sensation of flying over an otherworldly landscape.
- Sicuani - The journey continues by road towards Sicuani, with the magnificent blue lagoon of Langui visible in the distance, extending over 15 km. A stop will be made near the shores before proceeding to the starting point in Layo. To conclude, the return journey to Cusco will commence.
