Akilpo trek is An ideal trekking tour with very few visitors each year and the opportunity to learn about the archeological finds at Joncopampa. The Aquilpo Valley is bordered by two enormous granite blocks, vertically harmonized with Queñual forest, rivers, waterfalls, animals, and a campsite at the foot of the mountain. From the highest point (Urus Pass), we get impressive views all around us of the beautiful 6000m+ snow-capped peaks. The Ishinca Valley is famous for its climbing routes with lakes and their beautiful colors, plains, and slopes with long Ichu grass.
