Pastoruri Glacier Hike from Huaraz with Puya Raimondi
From €29 per person
See availability →A Pastoruri Glacier hike from Huaraz with stops along the Cordillera Blanca: Pato Cocha lake, the carbonated springs of Puma Pampa, Puya Raimondi plants and an hour on foot to the ice.
A Pastoruri Glacier hike from Huaraz is as much about the road as the ice. After pickup in the morning, the first stop is at Parco, a viewpoint over the peaks of the Cordillera Blanca, followed by Pato Cocha Lake, where wild ducks gather.
The route then visits Puma Pampa, where carbonated water rises from the ground, and the tall Puya Raimondi plants. From the Pumapashimin lagoon you walk for about an hour up to the Pastoruri Glacier, which is part of the climate change route.
Back down, the group has lunch at a tourist restaurant before the drive back to Huaraz. The San Patricio Cave is also on the route.
