HIGHLIGHTS
- Hike to Laguna Churup, see its turquoise waters
- See the mountains of the Cordillera Blanca Range
- A great acclimatization hike for trekkers in Peru
Good activity for acclimating with a trek up to 14,698 feet in altitude. It offers views of the mountaintops and the Cordillera Negra.
Join us on a 1-day hike to one of the most beautiful mountain lakes of Peru. We will pick you up form your hotel in Huaraz between 06:30 to 07:00 in the morning. Take the road that goes to Pitec. Reach the check point of Huscaran National Park, the starting point of the hike. Follow an uphill, zigzag trail from that point all the way to Laguna Churup. The hike will take you approximately 2 - 3 hours.
The hike to Laguna Churup is popular among travelers, not just among those wanting to see the lake but also among those wanting to acclimatize before a longer trek in Peru. But even if the lake is close to Huaraz, it is not so easy to reach. However, we have ensured that you can walk at your own pace and rest when you need to. You also have the option of camping on the shore of the lake.
Reach Laguna Churup, located at the elevation of 4450m. Take plenty of time to relax and explore the surrounding areas. Take pictures and start your journey downhill along the same route. It will take you approximately 2 hours to reach Pitec, from where you will drive to Huaraz.

Let's see another side of the Cordillera Blanca with this Churup Lake trek, which will take us through the typical vegetation of the Andes and the landscapes as a background, with mountains higher than 5000 m.
Itinerary:
We will go to the east of the city of Huaraz.
The route will take us to some towns before reaching Pitec, where the trek begins.
There we will be able to see the Andes' own vegetation and views of the Huamashraju, Cashan and Churup mountains, besides the Cordillera Negra.
Along the route, we will see the mountain melting that form rivers and waterfalls.
After 3 minutes of trek, we will arrive at the Churup Lagoon, at 4,480 m high.
In that place we will make a 1 hour pause to eat and take photographs.
Then, we will return to the bus to go back to Huaraz.
