IS IT FOR ME? (2 days)

The pitusiray trek is a great alternative for the Inca Trail trek and better suited for more adventurous trekkers who are able to handle higher altitude and longer distances. Ascending to reach the famous antena Pass at 4200 MASL - 5369FASL is not too strenuous since it is at the beginning of the trek, neither is it very steep, but it does require stamina and a little time in Cusco to acclimatize to the altitude before beginning the trek.

We left early to travel by car for 1 hour to the town of Calca. During this day we will walk approximately 6 hours up to Qan Qan Lake (4.190 m.s.), where we will camp and dine all afternoon to be able to rest next to the qan qan lagoon.
