Highlights
You will be picked up around 5AM from your hotel and reach the trailhead after ~3h drive. Beginning the trek, you will go through beautiful trek passes by alpine meadows and beside a river. The trail then ascends up along switchblades to reveal majestic waterfalls and streams. You'll enjoy views of two smaller lakes before your final ascent up the valley. After a steep incline up the mountain, you'll finally reach the renowned azure waters of Laguna 69 (~2h30/3h total hike). You will have ~1h30 of time to enjoy the view and have lunch (not incuded, bring your own picnic) before descending for another 1h30 hike and drive back to Huaraz.

About Huaraz
Huaraz, in Peru's Ancash region, is a high mountain town beneath the snow peaks of the Cordillera Blanca, the base for trekking and climbing.
Huaraz lies at about 3,000 metres in the Callejón de Huaylas valley, between the glaciated Cordillera Blanca to the east and the drier Cordillera Negra to the west. The town was rebuilt after the 1970 earthquake, so it is modern and low-rise; its setting is the draw, with Huascarán, Peru's highest mountain at 6,768 metres, standing nearby.
Top-ranked sights in Huaraz: Llanganuco Lakes (Lagunas Llanganuco), Mt. Alpamayo, Pastoruri Glacier.
