Trekking

The most popular trek in the Cordillera Blanca links the Vaquería and Santa Cruz valleys over the Punta Unión pass, with Taulliraju, Alpamayo and Artesonraju as the scenery. Four days, one big pass and a string of turquoise lakes.

A wild traverse around the northern Cordillera Blanca from the Santa Cruz valley to the lonely Cedros and Los Cedros valleys, passing directly beneath Alpamayo's north face. Fewer walkers, more passes and a true sense of expedition.

A short loop into the western Huayhuash that delivers the range's most famous view, the reflection of Yerupajá and Jirishanca in Laguna Jahuacocha, without committing to the full circuit. Ideal for hikers with limited time or as a warm-up for a climb.

A five-day traverse of the eastern Huayhuash that links the Mitucocha and Carhuacocha lakes with the celebrated three-lakes viewpoint beneath Siula Grande. It captures the heart of the circuit in a single compact week.

Six days through the eastern and southern Huayhuash, from the Mitucocha and Carhuacocha lakes to the Viconga hot springs and the Cuyoc pass. A rich sampler of the circuit that ends with a soak in natural thermal pools.

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.

The complete Huayhuash circuit at a sustainable pace: around 120 km, nine passes, the Viconga hot springs, the San Antonio viewpoint and a rest day at Laguna Jahuacocha. Widely regarded as one of the finest high-mountain treks on the planet.
