Public transportation & hitchhiking
A "combi" leaves from Chiquián everyday around 9:00 a.m. heading towards Llamac. You will have to pay more for backpacks. It is possible to arrive at Chiquián directly from Lima or Huaraz. It is also possible to catch a Lima-Huaraz-Lima bus and get off at the fork to Chiquián, where a taxi can be shared with locals (10 soles per passenger, approx.) These generally wait around the fork when the buses are scheduled to arrive.
Description of the route
The first payment of 30 soles per person (keep the receipt) is at the entrance to Llamac, even before getting off the bus. It is not recommended to wait until this point to buy supplies for the trek, as you will only find basic markets. However, this area is the entrance and exit for hikers, so with a little luck and time you should be able to find what you're looking for.
