Not at all. It’s a short 5-minute walk. While the altitude may be noticeable, the hike itself is very easy and doesn’t require much physical effort.

ATV rental is an additional service. The vehicles are owned by the local community, so they are rented separately. However, we include the rental in your tour package, so you don’t have to worry about handling that detail yourself.

The best time to go is between May and August, when the weather is drier, the terrain is in optimal condition, and there’s very little chance of rain that could turn the trails into mud.

Along the way, you’ll likely see llamas and alpacas roaming freely through the highland pastures. Keep an eye out—you might also catch a glimpse of native Andean birds like falcons.
