Laguna 69 Trek from Huaraz with Llanganuco Stops
From €26 per person
See availability →Laguna 69 trek from Huaraz with a guide: a long day through the Cordillera Blanca, with Llanganuco stops and a climb to turquoise water in Huascarán National Park.
The Laguna 69 trek from Huaraz starts at dawn, with a hotel pickup and a drive north through the Callejón de Huaylas. Your guide explains the plan for the day, and there is a stop for breakfast, which you pay for directly, before heading into Huascarán National Park. The road passes the Llanganuco lakes, where you can pause for the turquoise water and photos.
At Cebollapampa the real work begins. The trail to Laguna 69 covers about 6 km each way: roughly three hours up, three hours down, depending on the group's pace. The landscape changes as you gain altitude and the mountains close in. The guide walks with the group, talks about what you pass, sets a comfortable pace and can take your photo at the scenic points.
Rest and water breaks are possible whenever needed, above all on the steeper parts. At the end of the climb, Laguna 69 comes into view, an intense turquoise set under tall peaks, and there is free time at the shore before the descent along the same path.
