    The hike is great for acclimatizing to the environment and testing out a more challenging hike. We found the hike to be very good for preparing for Laguna 69 and the altitude. Fully recommended for testing out the altitude.

      The hike is technically easy, except for a small section with a via ferrata. Getting there from Huaraz is easy with the public buses (colectivos), which leave from an unofficial bus stop on the corner of Avenida Agustín Gamarra and Av. Las Américas. It is advisable to start as early as possible in order to catch the last bus back in the evening. The journey takes about an hour. The climb up to 4400m was quite exhausting, luckily we were acclimatized.
