Hiking Tour Details

At the designated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Huaraz. We'll travel in a comfortable vehicle through typical Andean villages until we reach Pitec, located at 3,850 meters (12,631 feet) above sea level.

Once we arrive, we'll admire views of some important snow-capped peaks of the Huascaran National Park, including Vallunaraju, Ocshapalca, Ranrapalca, Rimarima, San Juan, and Churup, our next destination.

We'll start the trekking route along the ridge that begins in Pitec. During the hike, we'll pass through some steep sections, requiring ropes to assist us on the ascent. The guide will support us on this 2-hour route.

Finally, we'll reach the Churup Lagoon, at the foot of the snow-capped mountain of the same name. Here, you'll have free time to enjoy the views and rest. Afterward, we'll begin the walk back to Pitec, where the minibus will be waiting to return us to Huaraz.

The excursion will conclude with your drop-off at your hotel after a total of around 9 hours.
