Get ready for a unique high-altitude adventure at Cerro Uturunco, one of the most accessible 6,000-meter peaks in the world. Your journey begins with a rugged 4x4 drive that takes you remarkably high up the mountain on an old mining road. From there, the final push to the summit is a non-technical but challenging hike of about 4-6 hours due to the extreme altitude. The reward for your efforts are the breathtaking, panoramic views of the surreal, high-Andean desert landscape stretching out below.
