Descrizione
Trek through Huayhuash for 5 days among glacial lakes, high mountain passes, and remote campsites. Cross Siula, Trapecio, and Santa Rosa with a specialized guide and logistical support.
Your experience begins in Huaraz with a trip to Queropalca, the gateway to one of the most spectacular mountain ranges in the Peruvian Andes. From there, you'll begin your trek to Carhuacocha, surrounded by high Andean grasslands, lagoons, and towering snow-capped peaks.
The trek continues along the Carhuacocha lagoons and ascends to Siula Pass, at 4,830 m, with views of Yerupajá, Siula Grande, and Jirishanca. You'll then descend to the Huayhuash camp to rest and recharge your batteries in the heart of the mountains.
The trek climbs to Trapecio Pass, at 5,100 meters, the highest point of the route. From this pass, you'll see snow-capped peaks, glacial lakes, and the nearby Raura mountain range before descending to the remote Valle del Elefante.
The next day, you'll cross the Santa Rosa Pass, at 5,050 m. You'll enjoy panoramic views of Jurao, Sarapo, Rasac, and Cuyoc, and then continue the descent past Jurao Lagoon and through the Calinca Valley to Huayllapa.
After several days of high-altitude trekking, the pace changes with a visit to the Viconga hot springs, where you can relax surrounded by the Andean landscape. Then you'll continue by road to Barranca, where the experience ends.
Along the route, you'll have an expert guide and support from the mountaineering team. This is a challenging experience, designed for travelers in good physical condition and with proper prior acclimatization in Huaraz.
