From the hotel, you are going to be transferred to the archaeological center of Tarawasi, believed to have served as an astronomical observatory by the Incas. Next, the adventure continues towards the village of Chonta, nestled at an elevation of 3,400 meters. As the trail is traversed for approximately one and a half hours, a panoramic view of the village of Chonta awaits, with Salkantay and Humantay mountains as the backdrop.

The destination is the Condor viewpoint, where a box lunch will be served.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.
