The Mount Chicon is a beautiful mountain located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. It is viewed from the heights of Chincheros, a frequent stop in the classic Sacred Valley tour. Seemingly easy but a difficult approach, it is necessary for porters to carry all the equipment and food. The passenger will only carry a daypack with: a water bottle, camera, jacket and gloves. After climbing five hours we will arrive at base camp. Over the steep cliffs and rocks, we will experience amazing sunsets and sunrises.
