ペルーの湖・トップ20

Serene silence during the acclimatization walk for the trek through the Cordillera Blanca that literally lies before you from this point

decently worth to go there, beautiful views

Great lagoon in deep blue with 6,000m peaks with snow peaks in the background 😍

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.

A wonderful place at the Laguna Churup at an altitude of 4450m. In the background is the Nevado Churup with its majestic glaciers. From midday onwards there are often numerous tourists, so it is worth coming early.

The totora reed has been used for centuries to build these islands on Lake Titicaca, which are considered the home of the Uro-Aimara families. The boats are also made of totora reed and are used for small-scale fishing. Handicrafts from the cheerful inhabitants of the islands are also offered here.

Once you have completed the first few kilometers, the first three lakes that you discover, which are lined up next to each other, are a really beautiful sight.

The view of the lagoon is beautiful. If you have already done hikes in Huaraz, the view is not so exciting. We also have to say that the hike up there was not very exciting. In the end it is just a steep climb until you get to the lagoon.
