Santa Cruz Trek

Llanganuco–Santa Cruz (4 days)

Llanganuco

This is the most popular (and commercial) route in Huascarán National Park. It’s about 47km (29 miles).

You’ll see two beautiful lakes: Taullicocha, Hatuncocha and Ichicocha. The trail is between 2900-4750m (9,514-15,584ft). From the highest pass Punta Unión (4750m) you can see ten major peaks, including the famous Alpamayo and Artesonraju.
