After breakfast we start slowly uphill until reaching Accopata, an extension of Cancha Cancha Community, where shepherds live in typical stone and ichu (straw) roof huts. There we begin a steep ascent towards Pachacutec pass (4,697m /15,406ft), surrounded by views of the beautiful lakes of Azulcocha and Suerococha. From the pass, we follow a trail that slowly descends, with a permanent view of Colque Cruz, Pitusiray, Sawasiray, Sirihuani and Chicon snow capped mountains.  We traverse Collaycocha Lake (4,200m. / 16,000ft.), reaching a waterfall approaching the Community of Quiswarani (3,902m / 12,798ft.), where we camp enjoying traditional food and spending our time with children and women weavers. (Time: 6 h
/ Distance: 9Km).

As we leave our campsite, towards to the Huillquijasa pass (4,457 m. / 14,618 ft.) we will see the Chicon and Colque Cruz glaciers and “the 7 lakes” full of huallatas (Andean geese), ducks and other water fowl. Over the high point we continue downhill until we reach the community of Cuncani (3,886 m/12,746 ft.), a picturesque village, similar to the previous campsite. This was the last refuge of the “Royal Panakas”, an Inca sect.  After our picnic lunch continue past a narrow valley, full of spectacular giant stones, to reach the Trapiche Valley floor, with the trail slowly descending until we arrive at the Lares (3261 m / 10,696 ft.) hot springs, where we will camp and enjoy the medicinal waters. (Duration: 6 hours / Distance: 12Km).

After a morning bath, we will enjoy an delicious breakfast and board our vehicle which will drive us from Lares down to the Sacred Valley and onwards to Cusco (5 hours).  Transfer to your hotel, dinner on your own.
