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.
