First we walk through the cloud forest, but then it all turns into steep open grassland with open views of the mountains and valleys. Pinchinoyoc – these ruins are something very special. They suddenly appear in the cloud forest, almost invisible due to the thick layer of mosses and other vegetation that covers it. Here we will spend the night, basically, on the old Inca terraces. We will have our lunch near the White River, we use the brake here to get a refreshing swim in the cold and clear river waters. We walked across the river, since there are no bridges. After our brake we begin the long, steep climb to our camp in Maizal, high above the river near the sacred Apus of the Incas. From Rio Blanco we went up to Maizal for about 4 hours. Camp at 3000 meters above sea level. (DAC).

From here we begin to walk uphill passing through the impressive Inca mines called Minas Victoria towards Victoria Pass. Once again a long climb, but we walked in an incredibly beautiful area – first with cloud forest and then over Andean Puna with the well-known ichu grass. We rested in some of Victoria’s mines, where shiny metal stones speak of a high concentration of minerals and metals, which were later used by other miners. Almost at the top we can see original paved Inca roads. We have our lunch at the pass at 4200 meters above sea level with views of the Choquetakarpo mountain, while we have lunch we can appreciate the flight of the condors depending on the weather, before beginning the descent towards Yanama, a small isolated town at the bottom of a long valley surrounded of mountains.

On the way we have a good view of the snow-capped peaks of Sacsarayoc. Once again we have the opportunity to see condors, and this morning’s gentle ascent will take us through new landscapes – especially the fields of wet grass below the snow line that distinguish it from everything else seen on the tour. On the pass we could walk in the snow, and the descent is a long foggy walk through wet areas and fields and green bushes and crossing small wooden/dirt bridges on the way to the community of Totora, where we will spend the night. .
