Awesome video, Tyler. I've seen a few videos about the Cordillera Huayhuash, but I think this one captures the spirit of the hike the best. Where do you pay for using the private land when walking this trek alone?
Thanks! They usually come around in the evening at the campsites to collect their fee or they may have someone waiting along the trail as you enter their land.
Great video, really helpful to anyone who books with Krusty. Which month did you travel - you seemingly had some bad luck with lots of clouds. Some remarks, you slept at Camp Janca the first night, Camp Mitodocha is a wild camping right at the Laguna. Now after seeing it I'm really thinking to book somewhere else though - as Krusty skips the Hotsprings at Viconga in order to walk out in 3 days instead of the traditional 2 days from Huayllapa. And on the last day instead of the most scenic route via Rondoy to actually close the loop take the way to Pocpa (betters still then out to Llamac what is sometimes done). So best 8 day option would be to go on D4 to Viconga. D5 to Elefantes and a sidetrip to Passo San Antonia and back. D6 via Passo Jurau to Hualylapa. D7 to Jahuacocha (yes second long day in a row). D8 to Pallca via Rondoy Pass. Oh and on D1 if acclimatised take the Ruta Alta via Caracocha - instead of the low route (it's not even much longer). As you walked it - it adds up to 90km and 5500m uphill and 5800m downhill. That's a far cry from the 80 Miles you claim in the beginning (55 Miles overall only). However then other agencies are much more expensive than Krusty, so a bit of a hard choice. Maybe best to get an arriero and mules only and go on your own with your own pace?
I personnally went with Quechuandes for the 11 days trek following the itinerary you mention + the return trip to Cerro Gran Vista (5150m) from Cutatombo camp, and it's not to be missed! Much more expensive than Krusty though.
What an awesome trek! I can’t believe that you get all of this for $440.

The video somehow does the views justice!
