Awesome adventure for nature lovers, impressive view of the valley of Cochabamba, bunch of llamas, even saw a Viscacha. 1:30 hrs car ride to the mountain, but great views and nothing too dangerous. Started our hike at 4,500m. of altitude, it lead us through a majestic landscape of mountains and crystal clear mountain lakes, until we reached the top of the Pico Tunari (5,035m) from where we got an spectacular view over the Cordillera Tunari mountain range and the entire valley of Cochabamba. altitude can be a problem and really easy to get lost, go with someone who knows the hike, i went with an agency called Chullo Adventour, great guys which i had a very good time, absolutely recommend it.

I'm still in contact with the CIWY so despite me not being there for a long time am aware of how things are going and the project is still the same. It's a beautiful project which gives you an exception experience to be invovled in the rehabilitation of wild animals. Highly recommended.
