Full Day: Huaraz – Pitec – Laguna Churup trek
The Laguna Churup full-day tour starts with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Huaraz, followed by a short drive to Pitec, the trailhead. From there, you will hike uphill along a well-marked trail through high-Andean vegetation, gradually gaining altitude until reaching the steeper sections equipped with safety cables. After approximately 3 to 4 hours of trekking, you will arrive at Laguna Churup, where you can relax, take photos, and enjoy your packed lunch while admiring the impressive mountain scenery. After spending time at the lake, you will descend along the same route and return to Huaraz in the afternoon.
