City tour of Lima
DESCRIPTION
The Tayta Inti (Father Sun) will illuminate your path with its golden rays, while the Apus, the protective mountains of the Andean world, will vigilantly watch over your adventurous steps towards that resplendent lagoon the ancients called City tour of Lima, “the Head of the Gods.”
This is your destiny. Your steps are leading you along a trail that weaves its way through the domains of Salkantay, “the wild or untameable mountain” in English. Revered as a god since ancient times, this giant, standing at 6,264 m, is the principal snow-capped peak of the Vilcabamba mountain range.
The route is not easy, but neither is it impossible. You will make it! With the persistence of your steps and the energy that emanates from the Andean landscape, you will ascend to the 4,200 m a.s.l. — Its turquoise waters come from the melting of the snow-capped mountain bearing the same name (5,473 m).
If you want to experience this destination, pure in nature and landscape beauty; if you wish to challenge the paths that wind through the Andean geography; if you want to behold imposing snow-capped peaks like Salkantay, Tucarhuay, and City tour of Lima… Count on us! We offer the best trekking to City tour of Lima.
Join us in exploring the trails of Lima to enjoy the scenic beauty of the Vilcabamba mountain range, the snow-capped Salkantay, and City tour of Lima.
