The Qoylloriti pilgrimage is without a doubt one of the most incredible treks you can do in the Andes. Immerse yourself completely in Andean culture in a gorgeous setting, surrounded by glacial peaks.
You will join hundreds of Andean pilgrims as they celebrate the Qoyllur Rit’i festival, making this important religious trek to venerate the Lord of Qoylloriti.
Apus Peru is one of the few trekking companies that offers the chance to experience the full 4-day Qoyllur Rit’i pilgrimage. We also offer a 2-day trek to Qoylloriti for those short on time but who still don’t want to miss out on this incredible cultural experience.

Our Qoylloriti pilgrimage begins as we leave Cusco early and travel by car along the Transoceanic Highway. We arrive in Mahuayany about 3 hours later, passing by Tinqui, the trailhead for the Ausangate treks. As we travel, we pass through spectacular landscapes and stop for photos along the way at Urcos, Ccatcca and Ocongate.
We will have an early lunch with other pilgrims at Mahuayany (4600m), which will be full of visitors! After lunch, we start our pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of Qoylloriti at the base on Mt Sinakara, a breathtaking spot surrounded by snow-capped mountains. It is a slow, 3-5 hour uphill hike, and we will pass the 14 stations of the cross along the way. In the evening, we can attend mass at the Sanctuary. We will have dinner and camp at the Sanctuary.
Note: The Qoylloriti Sanctuary is located at a very high altitude. You must be well acclimatized!
