After two hours of trekking, we will arrive to Somacpampa, where we will have a snack.

In this site we will camp for the first night.

Then, for two hours, we will walk towards the highest spot of our route, the mountain crossing of Pachacutec, beyond 4,600 m.a.s.l. Then we will descend to the passage of Candarian, which bears a large lagoon of the same name. There after, we will continue downhill towards Qollalay, where we will rest. Continuing with the route that leads to Queñococha, we will pass through a small village, dedicated to agriculture, called Quishuarani. Then, following the path uphill we will reach Queñococha (4,100 m.a.s.l.), our second camping site.

Two spectacular lagoons, Wiki Cocha and Azul Cocha,which lay in front of the snow peak Qolquechacana and the waterfall Awayman, can be seen from the top. From there we will descend until reaching the village of Culcani. Then, after walking for four hours we will arrive to the thermal baths of Lares. There we will have a snack and then a comforting bath in the hot waters. We will return to the city of Cusco, by private transportation, arriving in the early evening.
