Highlights
Lima: Tonight, you'll travel in an overnight coach with 1st class tickets. Soft & comfy beds. Good times with your crew. Coach rides don't get more amazing than this.
Huaraz: Stroll around the buzzing markets and squares of Huaraz. You'll see Plaza De Armas, Regional Museum of Ancash and Iglesia La Soledad (all against the backdrop of beautiful mountains).
Huaraz: We'll hop onto our coach for a 3-hour drive to the Pastoruri glacier, followed by a 2-hour hike to the top. Standing tall at 5000 metres above the sea, you'll catch epic views of snowy cliffs intertwined with rocky landscapes. It's a lesser-known tourist attraction you'll be so glad you didn't miss.
Huaraz: Get ready to be absolutely awestruck! We'll hit the road to see the crystal blue Lake 69 in Huascarán National Park. Picture sprawling farmlands, paper trees, ancient ruins and finally a turquoise glacier-fed lake - all over 7 hours & a 9-mile hike.
Huaraz: You'll explore the insane network of ancient Chavin temples here (and the pinnacle of 'em all - Chavin de Huantar) that were once a cultural centre in 1000 BC. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site for a reason!
Huaraz: We'll hop on our private vehicle for a 2-hr ride to Chavin de Huantar - a stunning town in the middle of the Andes. Here, you'll explore a labyrinth of ancient temples that'll leave you completely mesmerised.
