HIKE TO LAGUNA 69 PERU | Lake 69 in Huascaran National Park | Huaraz, Peru
After taking an overnight bus ride from Trujillo to Huaraz, Peru, we joined an organized tour to do a hike to Laguna 69, or Lake 69 Peru.
Laguna 69 Peru is located inside the Huascaran National Park, and this national park is one of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Peru. Huascaran National Park Peru is also a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve site.
The hike to Laguna 69 is quite strenuous, due to the high altitude of about 15,000 feet (4500m). We gained around 600-700 meters of elevation during our three-hour Laguna 69 trek.
Is Laguna 69 worth doing? We think so. Just maybe not twice. :-)

Laguna Churup (4.450 m.) Perú 2018
La Laguna Churup se encuentra localizada a pocos kilómetros de Huaraz, en la región de Ancash en Perú. Esta se halla comprendida en la ruta a Llupa y Pitec, a una altura de 4 450 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Se trata de una hermosa laguna de color turquesa y de fría temperatura que es además una de las más visitadas y que comprende una popular ruta de trekking.
Para poder llegar hasta la laguna de Churup se debe acceder desde el poblado de Pitec inicialmente, para luego seguir la caminata hasta donde esta se localiza. Cerca de la laguna se puede apreciar al bello nevado que presenta el mismo nombre y que resulta parte del atractivo del circuito de Churup, en cuya agua se ve reflejado.
Laguna Paron - The largest lake in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru
Laguna Parón is the largest lake in the Cordillera Blanca, on the Peruvian Andes, 32 km E from the city Caraz, at 4185 m asl. (13,730 ft above sea level)
It is nested and surrounded by several snow peaks such as Aguja I 5,840 m, Aguja II 5m888 m, Aguja III 5,775 m, Caraz I 6,025 m, Qaras II 6,020 m, Qaras III 5,720 m, Artesonraju 6,025 m, Parón 5,600 m, Pirámide 5,885 m, Chacraraju W 6,112 m, Chacraraju E 6,001 m, Pisco 5,772 m, Huandoy E 6000, Huandoy N 6395 m and Huandoy W 6,356 m. It is one of the most popular areas for climbing in Peru, including the so famous The Sphinx 5325m, a granite monolith, offering at least 13 big wall routes.
The lake, formed as a natural moraine reservoir, has a catchment area of 44.3 km², it is 3.7 km long (E-W) and average of 700 m width (N-S), the original depth was about 75 m, but today the level was lowered ca. 15 m to prevent the collapse of the moraine. The water from the lake was formerly used for the Cañón del Pato hydroelectric scheme, since 29 July 2008, this condition has ceased. The lake itself is within the borders of the Huascarán National Park. The water level is controlled by a tunnel and underwater gate, to keep water level at 4,155 m asl aiming a double objective: to prevent the overflow and the resulting risk for the downstream population and to manage the river discharge.
The high concentrations of dissolved lime give the water of Lake Parón a turquoise color.

After hiking the famous Laguna 69, a hike that goes up to 4600 meters in elevation, I tackled the 4-day Santa Cruz trek in Huascaran National Park outside of Huaraz, Peru.
The majority of the hike takes place over 4000 meters, and I decided to do it independently and solo for the benefit of the personal challenge. Could I handle hiking at altitude with weight on? Would it be crazy to do it solo?
I started my adventure in the scariest collectivo ride ever, then began a journey through beautiful valleys, mountains, peaks, and lagoons in Peru's incredible Cordillera Blanca mountains.
Along the way I met some interesting people (and animals!) and saw some beautiful mountains. A few mishaps occurred but overall I learned that I CAN DO THIS!
This video will help to show you what the hike is like, and even if you don't plan to do it yourself, I'm sure there will be aspects that you can relate to!

After saying goodbye to my amazing tour group, I set off solo to Huaraz in Peru for the next leg of my adventure: Solo hiking in Huascaran National Park. My first hike was the famous Laguna 69, the most popular hike in the area.
I could see why people love this hike in Peru so much, it's an incredibly blue glacial lake that you almost can't believe is real even when looking at it in person! I climbed up to 4600 meters with my drone to fly over the lagoon and waterfall for another perspective.
Peru hiking is phenomenal, and this trek to Laguna 69 helped to prove that! Stay tuned for more hiking when I solo and independently hike the Santa Cruz trek next.
