Laguna 69 Trekking from Huaraz with Private Transport

Overview

This full-day hike from Huaraz leads to Laguna 69, located in the heart of the Huascarán National Park and Biosphere Reserve. The route allows you to explore one of the world's most remarkable mountain ecosystems to reach a turquoise lagoon. The highlight of the excursion is the arrival at the foot of Nevado Chacraraju, where snow-capped peaks contrast with the intense colour of the lake, providing a privileged setting for landscape photography. The service includes private transport with an experienced driver and the accompaniment of an official tour guide speaking English or Spanish. The group is limited to 24 participants.
