Detailed Description
We will pick you up from the hotel (optional) to take the north path along the Callejón de Huayhuash, passing through small Andean towns, and admiring the beautiful snow capes of the White Mountain Range.
Arriving to the town of Yungay, we will take the northeast route, where the Valley of Llanganuco is located. After the registration to enter the Huascarán National Park, we will pass through amazing lakes as Chinancocha and Orconcocha, until reach Cebolla Pampa (3,900 m.s.n.m), the walking starting point.
We will hike on a flat area for about 1 hour, enjoying the pretty views of the Huascarán Mountain, the highest in the White Mountain Range. We will ascend in a switchback path until we reach a small lake, and visualize the glacial peaks of Chacraraju, Yanapaccha, Huascarán, Chopicalqui, and the waterfalls in the valley.
Finally, we will arrive at Lake 69 located at 4,600 m.a.s.l. We will have a lot of time to take pictures, and delight ourselves with spectacular landscapes and appreciate the crystal clear turquoise waters of this nature jewel.
Then, we will begin the descent along the same path, until we reach Cebolla Pampa again, where our transport is waiting for you to take you back to the city of Huaraz.
