Destaques
The Pastoruri Glacier is located at 5000 m.a.s.l., even so, it is one of the few glaciers in South America that is easily accessible (reached on foot), where special equipment is not required to reach it. It is located within the Huascarán Biosphere Reserve and Huascarán National Park, thus providing it with a very particular ecosystem. It is located at a higher point than Mont Blanc (highest peak in the European Union). It is considered a route where you can see the effects of climate change and global warming. Possibly in a few years it will no longer be possible to visit.

Once in the park we will make some stops: Source of Gasified Water and in Source of the 7 colors. Then we will stop at the incredible Puyas Raimondi, giant plants that bloom once in their lives and are 6 to 14 meters tall. We will continue towards the start of the small walk to the Glacier (45 minutes / 2km approx), you can also hire the horseback ride service until the middle of the walk (service provided by the Catac community - Not included). Once on the glacier (5000 m.a.s.l.), we will have a space to enjoy the area and photograph ourselves in style. The length of stay on the glacier will depend on climatic factors, arrival time, season, among others. We will return by the same path to board our transportation and return to the city of 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.
