The highlight of the tour is a 40-60 minute trek to the Pastoruri Glacier, a breathtaking natural wonder surrounded by dramatic mountain landscapes and glacial lagoons. You’ll have plenty of time to appreciate the glacier’s icy formation, take photos, and enjoy the serenity of this unique environment.
After descending from the glacier, we’ll head to a local restaurant in Ticapampa or Catac for a delicious lunch featuring traditional Andean dishes. Savor the authentic flavors of the region while reflecting on your adventure.
