I only passed through Matacancha , where it's possible to camp. There are two reasons to pitch a tent here. The first, a lack of energy to begin the walk immediately after a somewhat long and chaotic journey from Huarez. The other, for those who who are travelling independently and therefore start the trek at the last public bus stop, 17km, or about 10 miles away. The campsite is well organised but not really sheltered from the wind, so the nights must be cold there ...
It was very dreary when I arrived at Matacancha (just by chance, because I had great weather after that) and I could only just about see the summit of Rondoy that was supposed to be so welcoming. At the bus stop, mule drivers were waiting for us and without thinking we set off on the excursion, something that, as the days went on, never ceased to amaze me. For me this trek is the one must-do for all mountain lovers who have decided spend a little time in Peru.
