Itinerary description

Beautiful hike into the Yanacocha lake in the sacred valley of the Incas. We started at Paradero “Puente Urquillos” and started to go up the ravine of the town of Huayoccari. It took us 3 hours to hike up and 2 hours to hike down. The hike is moderate. Lake is beautiful and great to take a bath in even with the cold water.
