Overview

  • The Quelccaya Glacier tour stands out from any other route in Cusco because it takes you to explore the largest tropical glacier on Earth, a pristine and uncrowded environment that offers unique landscapes of frozen lagoons and massive ice walls. Unlike highly commercialized destinations like Humantay or Vinicunca, this is an authentic and challenging high-mountain adventure that reaches over 5,600 m above sea level and is done exclusively on foot with no horseback option, allowing you to connect directly with the purest Andean nature and witness a stunning yet vulnerable ecosystem first-hand.
