ADATTO A

The Cordillera Huayhuash trekking is a unique experience, that allows you to discover a South American and Peruvian spot that's still outside mass tourism. Every step of the circuit the semi-alpine route can amaze with its landscapes that can be admired and photographed, such as those you can see from the mirador de las tres lagunas or from San Antonio pass. This is a trip that requires good physical preparation: after a first phase that will allow us to get acclimated, we'll leave for the real trekking phase. Together with a certified guide, we will walk for 8 days, for an average of 7 hours per day. We will sleep in tents, under wonderful skies full of stars.
A dedicated staff will manage the transport and the preparation of our camp as well as the preparation of meals. We will not have to worry about anything but enjoying the path we will be facing and the beautiful images that we'll be able to capture. Photography is something extra in this trip, which is unique in itself already: my goal is to allow the participants to live a useful and entertaining photographic experience, regardless of the preparation level and the equipment, that could also just be a smartphone! We will have time to tackle photographic themes and techniques together, according to one's skills.
