Lunana Snowman Trek The Lunana Snowman Trek is said to be one of the most difficult treks in the world! The combination of the altitude, distance, weather, and remoteness is what makes it so difficult. We suggest that our clients make sure to get emergency evacuation insurance since the only way out of Lunana if the passes are blocked by snow is by a helicopter. Less than 50% of the people who attempt this trek complete the trek due to harsh weather conditions or problems with altitude.
