Llanganuco Santa Cruz Trek

LLANGANUCO – SANTA CRUZ TREK (8 days / 7 nights)

The Llanganuco-Santa Cruz Trail is one of the most spectacular mountain trips you can expect to hike on your vacation. This circuit across the heart of the Cordillera Blanca (White Mountain Range) is protected by the Huascarán Biosphere Reserve, a National Park and World Heritage Site.

It passes beneath dozens of iced peaks over 6000 meters above sea level, colourful lakes, high tropical flora and fauna, archaeological remains, and Andean villages with friendly people living traditional lifestyles.

This circuit is also one of the most ecologically diverse and scenic sites among the Earth's mountain ranges.
