Begin this
adventure with the convenience of a pick-up from your hotel in Huaraz or by
meeting us at our designated meeting point. We’ll head north through the
breathtaking Callejón de Huaylas, where each stop will amaze you with
its history, landscapes, and unique flavors.
Our first stop is
the charming town of Carhuaz, known for its traditional atmosphere and
delicious artisanal ice cream, made from fresh local fruits (optional).
Here, you can breathe in the pure mountain air and admire the stunning
snow-capped peaks surrounding the valley.
Next, we’ll visit
the Campo Santo of Yungay, a site of deep historical significance.
You’ll learn the powerful story of the devastating 1970 earthquake that
completely buried the town. We’ll explore the remains and its cemetery, a place
filled with remembrance and reflection.
We’ll then enter
the stunning Huascarán National Park, home to the breathtaking Llanganuco
Lagoon. This turquoise lake, formed by the Orconcocha and Chinancocha
lagoons, is surrounded by towering mountains and lush vegetation. Here, you can
walk along scenic trails or take an optional boat ride on the crystal-clear
waters.
To recharge,
we’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at a cozy local restaurant (optional), where you
can savor the authentic flavors of the region.
Our journey
