Willacaurane & Petacane Apacheta Hike
Willacaurane & Petacane Apacheta Hike
Between 7 am and 8 am, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Putre and head towards the Andean foothills of the Chilean altiplano, located in the North of the country.
We'll make our first stop at 3460 meters above sea level, where we'll undertake the initial stage of a trekking route that will take us approximately 7 hours. This first hike will take place in Willacaurane: an important archaeological site with rock paintings, dated to be between 4000 and 6000 years old.
After seeing these prehistoric artworks, we'll travel on to Petacane Apacheta. On this Andean hill, which usually hosts various religious ceremonies, we'll make the second stage of the trekking route to enjoy the mountain scenery.
We'll stop to rest and take in the glorious views whilst enjoying a picnic of sandwiches, dried fruits, chocolates and natural juices. After lunch, we'll continue touring this beautiful natural area of northern Chile.
Finally, we'll return to the starting point of the route and, from there, we'll return to your hotel in Putre. Arrival at your hotel is scheduled between 2 pm and 4 pm.
