VISITEN HUAYCHI, MOLLEPATA!! EN CUZCO, ES SÚPER HERMOSO SOBRETODO EN EL MES DE SEPTIEMBRE QUE ES CUANDO SE RINDE HOMENAJE AL SEÑOR DE EXALTACIÓN.. ES UN MES SÚPER FESTIVO..
Nice video. Do they let you go slow? Is water available?
Did the company provide hiking poles? About to do this hike without a guide and without poles...
Hi which altitude medication did you take???Txs
Looks like a lot of work. I got altitude sickness just watching this video.
Lol it’s worth it though
when u mentioned medicine for the altitude....are you talking about diamox? thx!
Yes :)
Can we do this without permit, i.e. on our own. I see you have done with a tour group. Is that correct?
Hi! I think you can, but I am not 100% sure. I just found the tour more convenient at the time because they took care of transportation, food, and making sure we did not get lost in the trails lol
what month did you hike?
What is the cost of the mules?
Planning to visit Peru. Which tour agency did you get?
Peru Hop!
Hi, what month did you go on this hike?
I went in April. It was a little cold
What time of the year did you visit?
April and it was still pretty cold then
can you get into the lake ? i love jumping in wates !
No ones allowed in the water
You said you took one tablet on your flight to Cusco, but a tablet of what?
diamox - it helps with altitude sickness
