You will enjoy a delicious box breakfast that we have prepared for you on the way. From the starting point, it will be a moderate hike to the viewpoint of the beautiful Singrenacocha Lake. The guide will be there to give you information about the place and lead a small gratitude ceremony to thank the mountains for allowing us to arrive.
After your visit, you will return to Pacchanta where your belongings and our cook will be waiting to serve you a delicious lunch. You will then have a free afternoon to relax in the natural hot springs of the area.
The highlight is the incredible and comfortable domes that will allow you to rest peacefully in a comfortable hotel bed, with hot showers and Wi-Fi.
