Early morning our guide will pick you up at your hotel to then head east directly to the Andes until Yerba Loca Natural Sanctuary. On the parking area our horseman will be waiting to load the equipments and beginning our hike through the glacial valley that extends gaining altitude and encasing gradually to the north.
The trail section to our camp site has 6,5 miles (10,5km) and consist of five hours of hike. The trail ascends with low steepness by the east bank of th river, which delves slowly in the deep mountains where vegetation soon disappears, giving way to bare rock. On route, creeks appears on the right moments with pure water for good hydration.
As we get into, the valley narrows and towering stone walls begin to unfold. The camp will be emplaced on a great spot near at the foot of a singular waterfall that freezes in winter. Here we will enjoy the Andean night accompanied by a delicious dinner and a good conversation
