LLANGANUCO - SANTA CRUZ
TLLSCHZ

This is one of the classic circuits that circle the highest mountain in the National Park - Huascaran 6768m. Easy access and comfortable campsites make this hike attractive for all trekkers. We cross passes between 4500m and 4750m. Hiking through the "Quenual" (typical Andean shrub) while in deep canyons, green and turquoise lagoons reflect the sparkling glaciers. We pass through villages, where the peasants attempt to harvest their crops and kids enjoy playing with their animals.
