The journey of the trek from the Quillcayhuanca Valley to the Cojup Valley is a great adventure in the heart of Cordillera Blanca. It is a circuit we recommend for those who wish to enjoy peace, tranquility and the mysteries surrounding nature in this magical place where the ever-beautiful and majestic rocky efigy of the Cayesh glacier reigns. It is a kingdom found under the protection of imposing white sentinels carefully watching over their king and his domains from up above. We can't help but notice the harmony of nature's elements which come to life as a tender dream come true. Mysteries of ancient indigenous cultures surface in ancestral pictographs in rock or buildings which confirm the existence of a great pre-Inca culture that inhabited these peaceful valleys, while planting and harvesting their own source of nourishement at a great altitude where they felt the precense of their protector gods which manifested themselves in the graceful shapes of a condor or ice and snow walls.
