The ascent to Jampa (5475 m/ 17,963 ft) is one of the mountain expeditions within the Vilcanota mountain range, Cusco region, that serves as an initiation to climbing for high altitude peaks. Its summit is a magnificent balcony in the heart of the mountain range that has a special place and allows observing all the snowy massifs and most emblematic peaks of the surroundings, for example, the view from very close to the majestic Apu Ausangate.
In the Vilcanota Cordillera, it is possible to appreciate, like no other, the presence of the aboriginal people with their attire conserved along with their attitudes of attachment to the soil and tradition. The breeding of extensive herds of llamas, alpacas, sheep, and cattle stands out, and in the middle of the tours, it is magical to observe, among the rocky outcrops and high glaciers, the sudden appearance of vicuñas, as well as the haughty condor flying overhead.
We recommend that you do at least a 1-day hike at altitude to acclimatize before doing this trek. If you already have previous experience, it is not necessary.
