Description

Would you like to visit one of the most beautiful lagoons of the Cordillera Blanca, in the Peruvian Andes? Then join me in this 1-day guided hike to the amazing Lake 69 (4600 m)!

This acqua color lagoon lies at the feet of the Chacraraju mountain. Also, most hikers considere it one of the most impressive scenic day treks in the Cordillera Blanca. Besides, it is one of the more than 400 lakes of the Huascaran National Park, a Biosphere Reserve and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We will leave from the city of Huaraz to the city of Yungay, 55km to the north. Then, we will turn towards the east part of the city to the ravine of Llanganuco, for about 28 kilometres. Along our way, we will be able to appreciate two other beautiful lagoons like Chinancocha and Orconcocha.

Then, once we arrive to Cebollapampa, we will start a hike for about 3 to 4 hours to Lake 69. We will stay for almost an hour enjoying the stunning view of the lagoon. Then, we will return to to Cebollapampa and to the city of Huaraz.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about this 1-day trek to Lake 69 in Peru! I will be happy to help you! Also, if you are looking for a more challenging adventure, join me in the Nevado Huascaran 6-day trip!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
