    O Mais Desafiador!!! Visual do outro mundo! O mais desafiador no Perú! Subir à pé até +5000m de altitude não é para todos!. Quem não tiver condicionamento melhor subir de moto/cavalo, pois vai passar mal no retorno à base. Esforço é grande e mesmo para quem pratica esportes a altitude pega bastante depois da metade. Com calma dá para completar o percurso! Visual e a caminhada é um teste, uma experiência de vida e uma terapia para você testar seus imites...
