The expert's opinion

This trip is classified as intermediate level for two main reasons: the altitude and the pace of the days.

  1. Altitude: A significant portion of the route takes place above 4,000 m. Although the circuit is designed for gradual acclimatization, the altitude may cause faster fatigue or temporary headaches.
  2. Physical commitment: While the hikes do not present major technical difficulties, some days are packed, with activities and transfers lasting between 6 and 8 hours . A reasonable level of fitness is necessary to fully enjoy the combination of visits and walks.
  3. Climatic conditions: The Andean climate is changeable. Between the intense solar radiation and the brisk winds of the plateaus, plan for total protection (sunscreen and category 3 or 4 sunglasses) as well as modular clothing to adapt to temperature variations.
