| "During the first days, our visitors are still tired very quickly, because of the altitude. Therefore we only make small hikes, in which we show them |
| our houses, our farms and the schools. We also give them "mat� de coca", this helps them as well." |
| An example of a one-day hike: to the lake called "Lej�acocha" |
| Or: in one day to the "Llaqshac Lake" |
 |
| "We always like to do Llaqshac hike at the last day. It is a strong hike, but most visitors manage to reach the lake in three hours. Some of them like to touch the snow, so then we continue to the glaciar! Sometimes we even slide down the snow. On our way back, we visit caves with paintings from our ancients. Back at the car, the Pachamanca is ready, and we all eat together, and enjoy the music from our musicians. Then we say goodbye and hope that they come back." |
| The Quebrada Honda |
 |
| "The Quebrada Honda is a very important valley for us. It is where we grow our native potatoes and other potatoe-like species, like olluco and oqa. In harvesting time, we stay for almost two weeks in a row in the valley, before we load all our donkeys to go back to the valley with our harvest." |
