Itinerary
-
White mountain view tour
- You complete the hiking circuit at the lake and our guide will pick you up and take you to public minivans station (private groups – private car).
- We will drive to Chiwipampa along 10km of paved highway to the south side of Huaraz, here we cross the Santa River by the small bridge in the direction of Santa Cruz Village where we will start hiking-up to the Huillcacocha Lake.
- The short trek is a moderated ascent up a local trail for about an hour. During your hike you willmeet local people still wearing their traditional colorful Andean clothes.
- You will pass by their typical adobe houses, whilst taking the opportunity to appreciate the farming fields and observe the products they farm such as wheat, Barley, Oats Corn and potatoes as well as other products that are unknown in Europe and the USA.
- Once you arrive at the lake you may be surprised by the wonderful views of the Cordillera Blanca and the notoriously impressive Huascaran massif being the highest peak in the Cordillera Blanca with its 6768 masl.
- There is an alternative trail to cross to the north side towards the cordillera Negra and get to the Huascar village, here the car will wait for the return back to Huaraz.
- You can thus avoid the same trail to come back to Huaraz, or you can come back to Huaraz the same way if you prefer.
