Chain-Assisted Climb in Huascarán National Park

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

September 13, 2025,Peru: Laguna Churup

Another lagoon today, but in the Cordillera Blanca. Quite strenuous due to the altitude. But the trail was well-marked, and the last section was challenging with its chain passages. Great tour.
