Signature trips
The three we get asked about most.
Alpamayo for climbers, the full Huayhuash circuit for trekkers, and Laguna 69 for everyone else. All three run throughout the May–September season.
Huayhuash Circuit – 8 Days
The full loop around the Cordillera Huayhuash compressed into eight committed days, crossing the San Antonio pass above 5,000 m and finishing at Laguna Jahuacocha. For fit, acclimatised hikers who want the whole circuit without rest days.
Laguna 69
Peru's most famous day hike climbs from the Llanganuco valley to a brilliant blue lake fed by the glaciers of Chacraraju. Long drive, long trail, unforgettable colour.
Alpamayo
A fluted pyramid of snow that has been called the most beautiful mountain in the world, Alpamayo is the dream climb of the Cordillera Blanca. Its southwest face is a sustained ice route that rewards strong, experienced climbers with one of the most photogenic summits anywhere.
