Overview

Parón Lake – Full Day

Parón Lake is the largest lake in the Cordillera Blanca, known for its intense turquoise colour and stunning surrounding peaks such as Pirámide de Garcilaso and Artesonraju. It is an easy-access tour, perfect for photography and enjoying breathtaking landscapes without much physical effort.

Pastoruri Glacier – The Climate Change Route

The Pastoruri Glacier is one of the most iconic glaciers in Huascarán National Park. Known as the “Climate Change Route,” this tour highlights the visible retreat of the glacier and its environmental impacts. It includes visits to the Puya Raimondii, carbonated springs, and unique high-Andean scenery.

Lake 69 – Challenging Trek

Lake 69 is one of the most famous and beautiful destinations in the Cordillera Blanca. This demanding trek includes a 3-hour ascent through valleys, waterfalls, and snow-capped peaks. At 4,604 m, the lake’s deep blue colour and dramatic setting make the effort truly worthwhile.
