Chicón

Exploration Path

We reach the community of Cuncani after a three-hour drive. Hiking upslope, we pass by a shepherds’ estancia. We then follow a trail used by the community for livestock and farming activities. Once we reach the Chicón glacier, the hike continues through ice and snow; after the pass we enjoy an amazing view of the Sacred Valley and the Maras plateau. We descend crossing a Queuñas forest.

Towering titans that reach into the clouds above, defying altitude and gravity in order to provide a vital experience of heaven on Earth for all who venture their slopes.
