The Huilca pasture is a heavily grazed area, with hundreds of alpacas and sheep. Two farmsteads stand at either side of the pampa. There is a camp marked at Huilca, but do ask permission before pitching up. Another camp sits further up the 4x4 track. Always be respectful to the working Quechua farmers and their livestock.
