Description

Itinerary We will pick you up at your hotel in Huaraz at 7:00 am. We will travel in a comfortable vehicle through typical Andean villages until we reach Pitec, at 3850 meters above sea level. From here, we will contemplate impressive views of some of the most important snow-capped peaks of the Huascaran National Park, such as Vallunaraju, Ocshapalca, Ranrapalca, Rimarima, San Juan or Churup, our next destination. We will start the trekking route along the ridge that leaves from Pitec. During the hike, we will pass through some steep sections, where we will have to use ropes to help us on the ascent. But don't worry! The guide will help us on this two-hour route. We will reach the Churup lagoon, located at the foot of the snow-capped mountain of the same name, where you will have free time to enjoy the views and rest in the surrounding area. With the batteries recharged, we will start the walk back to Pitec, where the minibus will be waiting to take us to Huaraz. We will finish the excursion at your hotel at 4:00 p.m. approximately.
