Description

Itinerary At the indicated time, we will pick you up at your hotel in Huaraz and take a minibus to Nevado Pastoruri. Let's start the trip! We pass the Patococha lagoon and stop to see the hot springs of Pumapampa. In this place we can also find many specimens of Puya Raimondi, an endemic plant. Did you know that this species has the largest number of flowers in the world? Later we arrive at Huascaran National Park to begin the 45 minute ascent to the Pastoruri Glacier. Located south of the Cordillera Blanca, this ice titan of almost two square kilometers is located at an altitude of over 5,000 meters. After the tour, we will leave you free time at 3:00 p.m. so you can have lunch and recharge your batteries. Then, after nine hours of hiking, we return to the hotels in Huaraz.
