From €29 per person
See availability →A Laguna 69 hike from Huaraz: a zigzag climb inside Huascarán National Park to a bright blue lake under Chacraraju and Nevado Pisco, with the Llanganuco lakes on the way.
This Laguna 69 hike from Huaraz is a long day that starts on the road and ends on a trail. The transport crosses the Llanganuco valley inside Huascarán National Park, passing other lakes before the walking begins, and there is a stop for breakfast along the way.
The hike starts at Cebollapampa, at 12,631 feet above sea level. From there a zigzag path climbs towards Laguna 69, which sits at 15,255 feet. The reward is a lake of vivid blue, with the snow-capped summits of Chacraraju and Nevado Pisco mirrored in its still surface.

Bring your own lunch: none is sold at the lagoon. The park entrance ticket and other meals are not included. The tour is not suitable for wheelchair users or people with mobility impairments, and the day is best suited to anyone who enjoys a demanding walk with a big view at the end.
