After lunch will continue with a slight descend of 30 more minutes to reach the camp of the thermal baths of Upis, where we will have free afternoon after lunch to relax in the pools after walking 3 days in a row through the incredible landscapes of the Ausangate snow, and here we will have our last group dinner.
Today we will say goodbye to the Ausagante peak which is still near for the last time. We will begin our descent hike for about 3 hours until the town of Tinki, where our cook is waiting for us with the last lunch of the journey.
