Water and Rivers
The waters and the rivers are immaculately clean up here. We travel by bus towards Ocongate and Tinqui. We will then travel by smaller combis up to the pampa.

Tents and Sleeping Bags
We use excellent tents for our treks. However we recommend that you bring a very warm sleeping bag ( -5 degrees or warmer ) for the mountain treks. It is possible to rent them in Peru, however they are usually not as warm. We also can rent for you sleeping mats or you can bring your own.
Treks in the Andes
As we hike in the Andes, we will have the option for several ceremonies with the Qero Elders. and other shamans. First we begin with a Despacho offering, and offer our gratitude for a safe
journey, and for the opportunity to hike these mountains. Second, we will receive a karpay or initiation called the Pampamesayok. This connects you to many others who have hiked these mountains and who walk the path of a Caretaker of the Earth.
We also have an excellent cook and crew. Santos is our favorite cook. Early in the morning, they will offer you coffees and herbal teas. They prepare for us a delicious breakfast that is often hot and yummy. On the trail as we continue to hike, bring your favorite protein bars, and mixed nuts and snacks. The horsemen are arranged by Jose Luis in Pachanta. Then in the evenings, around 6:30 or 7:00 PM, they prepare dinners with a variety of food options. Please let us know if you are on a special diet.
