We will spend approximately an hour here taking pictures, and enjoying the stunning view.

Amazing trip and experience, really well managed and truly enjoyable. The mountains were eerily quiet, we saw less than 30 people the whole time. The altitude definitely slows you down but it's fine to go slow and take lots of breaks. Our tour guide Rodolfo was a great driver and great guide, he took a ton of photos for us and we were really happy with him.
I definitely recommend Into Peru for this trip!
