Lonely Planet review for Warmiwañusca
From Llulluchupampa, a good path (taking two to three hours) up the left-hand side of the valley climbs to the pass of Warmiwañusca, also colorfully known as 'Dead Woman's Pass'. At 4198m (13,773ft) above sea level, this is the highest point of the trek, and leaves many a seasoned hiker gasping. From Warmiwañusca, you can see the Río Pacamayo (Sunrise River) far below, as well as the ruin of Runkurakay halfway up the next hill, above the river.
