Day Hike
Quillqueyhuanca Valley Hike
Easy
About this day
An easy, almost flat walk up the Quebrada Quillqueyhuanca, with wide mountain views and sheer vertical rock walls overhead — we have spotted condors here more than once. Lunch is a picnic in the sun by the river at the head of the valley. A good day out for everyone: families, children, and anyone who just wants the mountains without the climb.
