Itinerary description

We startet in Chivay with a car and drove throug the highplanes to an abandoned (?) farmhouse. You need 4WD and good weather for this faszinating offroad trip (~1h).
From this point we started walking with the goal to enjoy the landscape und reach 5000 m. As you van see on the pictures we walked all the time at an new created „driveway“. So the trail is easy depending on your acclimatization to high altitude.
