We will find the most representative plants in the Peruvian Andes, measuring up to 12 metres and living for approximately 100 years

We will make a brief stop to see the Puya Raimondi, a representative plant of the Andes, it can grow up to 12 metres high, produces clusters of up to 8 thousand flowers and lives up to 100 years, but once it blooms it dies. We will observe murals of cave paintings.

We will take a walk of approximately 1 hour (one way) until we reach the snowy Pastoruri (5,000 metres above sea level).We will tour its large ice walls that give us an understanding of the atrocious retreat of the glaciers due to the global warming of our planet and obtain impressive views of the mountain landscape that surrounds this place.
