Cerro Catedral

For the Cerro Catedral (Cathedral Mountain) hike we start at 9:00 in the morning when we drive in approximately 40 minutes to the starting point of this spectacular mountain-hike.

We then climb to the top of one of the highest mountains in area. It is not technically difficult, but you should definitively not have a problem with heights.  In places where it might be dangerous we use a rope for security. After a two hour hike/climb we reach the top and you can enjoy the 360˚ view over the "Elbow of the Andes".

After lunch we start to go down again via a different route. The final part we cross a small patch of sub-tropical forest with bibosi, giant ferns and orchids. Before we drive back to Samaipata we have a cold drink at a local tavern. We arrive at Samaipata around 17:00

You need to bring good walking shoes, sunscreen, insect repellent, 2 liters of water and some lunch. And... don't forget a camera with plenty of memory and battery
