Hike to Laguna Churup
Seeking a high-altitude adventure with a rewarding view? The Hike to Laguna Churup is your perfect one-day trek in the Peruvian Andes. Starting from Huaraz, you’ll be transported through picturesque Andean villages to Pitec, the gateway to Huascarán National Park. The uphill zigzag trail offers glimpses of the Cordillera Negra and towering peaks like Huamashraju and Cashan.
The trek, popular for both its acclimatization benefits and stunning scenery, takes you to the sparkling Churup Lake at 4,450m. After soaking in the beauty and snapping photos, retrace your steps to Pitec and return to Huaraz. The journey is designed so you can walk at your own pace, with plenty of time to relax and appreciate the unique Andean landscape.
A key USP is the trek’s accessibility—challenging yet manageable, with opportunities for rest and even camping by the lake. Ideal for adventure travelers or those preparing for longer treks, this trip offers an authentic taste of the high Andes in a single day.
