Marcahuasi 2-Day Private Hiking Tour
Description
Day 1
At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your preferred pickup point in Lima and set off for the village of San Pedro de Casta. We'll stop in the village and stroll through its charming streets before having lunch. Our lunch menu will include soup, a main course and a drink.
After lunch, we'll go on a 3-hour hike across the Marcahuasi plateau, which dominates the landscape at an altitude of 13,100 feet (4,000 metres). We'll walk at a steady pace and make it to the highest point in time to see a beautiful sunset.
Once the sun has set, we'll sit around a campfire under the stars. We'll then spend the night at the campsite.
Day 2
Good morning! We'll get up at dawn and breathe in the fresh mountain air before setting off for the day. In the morning, we'll see the geological formations that are dotted across the Marcahuasi plateau. We'll see the Sphinx, the Alien, the Alchemist and numerous other unique stones.
We'll pass by the lagoons of Cachu Cachu and Huacracocha and admire their natural scenery. In addition, we'll see the Lion King rock and the Monument to Humanity, a fascinating figure in the shape of a human head.
It'll then be time to return to San Pedro de Casta for lunch before we start our return journey to Lima. Our arrival back at the departure point is scheduled for 7 pm.
