Embark on a 4-day guided trek to the Santa Cruz Valley and Punta Union Pass. Enjoy the convenience of having all meals, transport, and tents provided.
Embark on the Santa Cruz Trek, considered the most wonderful trekking in South America. This magnificent four-day trekking in the Cordillera Blanca and Huascaran National Park is preferred by internationals from all over the world. Enjoy easy access and the most impressive views of snow-capped mountains, turquoise green lakes, shaped waterfalls, and cascades.
Follow the 48 km (31 mi) trail that follows glacial creeks up to the 4,750 m (15,580 ft) high point at Punta Union pass. From the pass, there are good views down the valleys, of Taulliraju - towering over the pass, and of Huascarán - the tallest mountain in Peru and anywhere in the Tropics.
The trail is reasonably well marked, with signs at major intersections. However, be sure to bring a GPS device (with offline maps) and consider a backup paper map. OpenStreetMap has good area definition. Openandromaps has an excellent offline free vector map that covers all of Peru, with detailed topographic information.
The hike may be done in two directions: from Vaqueria to Cashapampa, or from Cashapampa to Vaqueria. However, from the logistical perspective, it may be better to go from Vaqueria to Cashapampa, as it is easier to arrange public transportation back to Huaraz. Some hikers may find it physically easier to start in Vaqueria at 3,700 m (12,100 ft) as opposed to starting at 2,900 m (9,500 ft) from Cashapampa; however, the grade from Cashapampa to the pass is less steep.
