WHERE

Huaraz, Peru

A challenging, exciting and totally rewarding journey.

We will cross the Huayhuash Mountains in 8 days, plus one day of acclimatization, crossing passes between 4,600 and 5,000 meters above sea level, camping near lagoons located under dreamy snow-capped peaks, following trails that take us to viewpoints from where the views are impressive. We will visit legendary places, surrounded by a great diversity of wild and mystical flora and fauna. The classic circuit is considered one of the 10 best hiking circuits in the world. Community, temporary family, we will be together on this occasion to cross this portal of personal transformation. The body will be our vehicle of passage, we will nourish it with healthy superfoods, we will practice yoga in the virgin mountains of the Huayhuash mountain range, we will do conscious breathing exercises to connect from the depths with our inner strength, with the pure energy of Creation. With all our potential as human beings we will advance together in this maximum experience. The mind will be our greatest ally to observe, discover and express that will of fire that we all carry inside. We will have support and motivating talks that will inspire us to grow and to take these tools home with us, on a daily basis, to be able to put into practice what the mountain will teach us. Nature will be our teacher, are you ready to listen to it?
