Join Ayni Peru on our innovative Quelccaya trek!  This is a remote, gorgeous, and truly unique following along the expansive Quelccaya Ice Fields, the largest glaciated area of the tropics worldwide. Beginning in high-altitude  Killacocha, we trek along stunningly blue Lake Sibinacocha, then ascend toward Quelccaya.

Next, descend past beautiful snowcapped peaks and through a variety of microclimates before arriving in the high jungle. Our end point, Marcaopata, is a lovely colonial town with a fascinating church, excellent thermal baths, and amazing views of the surrounding valleys.
