This is another combined trek where you get to see both High Mountain and Cloud Forest but, shorter than Choro Trail. 90 % of the Trail is Pre- Inca Pavement. Beautiful Andean lake on the way will be part of this beautiful lake. Hard on the first lap, and downhill till the end.  Good for those short of time due to its shortness About 30 km of beautiful scenery high up in the mountains and deep inside the Cloud Forest.
