Itinerary

Our adventure begins at 8:00 AM with hotel pickup in a private bus. We’ll head east from Huaraz, passing through the small villages of Unchus and Llupa, arriving at Pitek after about 45 minutes. From Pitek, we’ll start our uphill hike on a well-marked trail, taking in stunning views of the snow-capped Churup, Shacsha, and Cashan mountains, along with breathtaking landscapes.

After approximately 3 hours of hiking, we’ll reach Laguna Churup at 4450m, where the clear turquoise waters and panoramic views make the journey worthwhile. You'll have time to soak in the beauty and snap photos before heading back down the same trail to Pitek, where our private bus will take us back to Huaraz.
