Private 4-day Santa Cruz trek from Huaraz in Peru, with guide, camping gear, mule support, meals, and water. Early mornings and cold nights.
“For me, this experience is about Natural Beauty. And this trek wins top marks on that category. Alejandro is an outstanding guide. He knows and loves the nature and runs a good operation. He also kept everyone moving together without being pushy. Small logistical hiccups just happen and there’s no need for frustration or explanation of these.. just be flexible. The gear they provide is serviceable but well used. I got real benefit from bringing my own inflatable ground pad..”

“It was nice but we waited in the morning 45 minutes for the bus !!! Its ridicolous We ofcourse waited outside because they told us to do this”
Full-day trek to Parón Lagoon from the Huaraz area, with entrance included, small group, and an optional steep viewpoint hike.
“Very good and the guide, Junior, was very attentive at all times and made the journeys very enjoyable. The lagoon is a spectacle, I recommend going up to the viewing point, at first it seems a lot but the climb is really pleasant for people who go to the mountains from time to time.”
One long day from Huaraz to Laguna 69 for turquoise glacial views, mountain walls, and a memorable hike through Cordillera Blanca valleys.

Early Huaraz trek to Laguna 69 in UNESCO Huascarán National Park, Llanganuco photos, guide, and round-trip transfer.
“It was a great tour and a really good day. Thank you very much. The two disappointments are, that we planed (like written in the contract) with an end at the same place where we were collected. So we have had a longer way home with two tired kids. Further on called the contract a maximum of 20 people but there were 28 what means a litten bit less comftorbility. The tour was really good, but a lot of tourists expect what is written in the contract. Muchas gracias!”
A long day from Huaraz for a classic Laguna 69 trek, with mountain lakes, national park stops, and an optional lunch at 4,620m.
“The walk was very good. The bad thing is that you didn't pick me up at the hotel nor did you leave me at the hotel on the way back... which is what you had indicated. I think it's not a walk for everyone and the schedule should be respected.”
Guided day trek from Huaraz to Lake 69 in Huascarán National Park. High-altitude climb, turquoise water, small group, and real mountain views.
“Montée difficile à cause du manque d’oxygène donc ce n’est pas donné à tout le monde et il faut prendre cet élément en compte. Dénivelé positif de 700m en montée pour arriver à 4600m d’altitude. La vue est magnifique ! Arrêt prévu chez une super famille pour le petit déjeuner, il est très bon. Plusieurs arrêts sont prévus pour les toilettes avant le trek. Faites attention, nous avions reçu un message pour un pick-up à 8h30 alors que le guide est venu nous chercher à 5h ! Cela dit ce n’était pas la faute du guide Wilson, qui est super ! Prévoyez des vêtements chauds et contre la pluie. Si…”
Pick a kind of day, and see the best of it.
