We will walk along a trail leading to the Ccauca ravine, where we will arrive at an area of archaeological remains and local crops such as tarwi, as well as an extensive area of cacti. Continuing towards the Queullococha pass (4185 meters above sea level), around the trail we will have spectacular views of snowcapped peaks, including Veronica, Pitusiray and Chicon. As we approach Lake Queullococha, we will be able to spot Andean geese, ducks and the small fish that inhabit the lake.
