The trek takes approximately 2 weeks and winds through such spectacular mountains as Yerupajá (at 6,634 meters, the second highest in the Peruvian Andes), Jirishanca, Siulá Grande, Rondoy, Ninashanca and Rasac. This trail passes incomparably breath-taking lakes of crystalline water and tiny villages seemingly out of touch with the rest of the world -- a wonderful recompense for those willing to venture over these paths.
