The descent from the Jurau Pass to Juraucocha is completely pathless and very steep. There are a few cairns, but not enough to orient yourself in the scree desert. The GPX track here is very imprecise. There are countless steep cliffs that must be avoided.
It is possible to descend to Juraucocha, but it is very challenging. Going uphill is a lost cause without a guide.

Hello Mia,
I'm a little confused by your comment.
The Jurau Pass is not considered easy but it is a much easier and less steep alternative to the San Antonio and Santa Rosa Pass.
I haven't done the tour yet (plan is next year) but I found quite a lot of information about it.
I would therefore be very happy to hear back from you as to whether it is actually that demanding or whether you perhaps meant the San Antonio.
Best wishes
Piet
