The Cordillera Blanca mountain range located near Huaraz, Peru has been the highlight of my trip so far.
The most popular day trip in the area is Laguna 69. If short on time in Huaraz, it’s a must do! And if you’re opting to do any longer hikes including Santa Cruz, it’s a great acclimatizing hike.
When you think of hiking in Peru, probably the only thing that comes to mind is Machu Picchu. But if you’re in Peru, don’t miss the quaint city of Huaraz, located about 8 hours north of Lima, and the jumping off point for great hiking.
Making up the skyline of Huaraz is the beautiful Cordillera Blanca range. Located within Cordillera Blanca is Huarascán National Park, which is home to condors, pumas, as well as Peru’s tallest mountain, Huarascán.
