Description
On this trekking route to the Churup Lagoon, a walk through the Huascaran National Park awaits us, where we will find captivating landscapes. The experience will be rewarding!
At 7:00 a.m., we will leave Huaraz in a comfortable vehicle, passing through picturesque Andean villages until we reach Pitec, located at 3850 meters above sea level. From this point, we will enjoy breathtaking views of outstanding snow-capped peaks of the Huascaran National Park, such as Vallunaraju, Ocshapalca, Ranrapalca, Rimarima, San Juan and Churup, our final destination.

Afterwards, we will return to Pitec to board the minibus that will take us back to Huaraz.
