In the afternoon and after our hearty lunch, we will walk up for 2 more hours to the next camp called Puca Cocha, located at an elevation of 4,600m/16,120 feet. In the evening, we will have tea time, and yet another spectacular dinner. HIKING TIME: 7-8 HOURS DISTANCE: 14KM/ 8.69 MILES

After another breakfast amongst the towering mountains and rolling hills, we begin another challenging and rewarding day.
