At over 13,000 feet, you will take in panoramic views of three distinct rainbow-colored peaks, imposing snow-capped glaciers in the distance, and special rock formations unique to the region. As you hike, keep an eye out for local flora, fauna, and alpacas grazing in this spectacular high-altitude environment.
