Laguna Churup Trek

Itinerary of the Laguna Churup Huaraz Trek:

Very early in the morning you are picked up from your hotel in Huaraz and transferred towards Pitec hamlet, located about 1 hour from Huaraz city and the starting point of the Churup Trek. The trail ascents by a ridge, not very steep, in direction to the Churup Peak with views of the Cashan and Shaqsha peaks, followed by a path goes into a canyon where you can appreciate beautiful waterfalls.

After 2 or 3 hours walking, you’ll arrive to the most difficult point of the route, a 30 meter ascent without difficulty for a 70° slope (if it is required, the guide will take a rope). Then there is a walk of 20 minutes leading to the lake, where you will have enough time to rest, lunch and take pictures.

The descent to Pitec takes about 2 hours; it is the place where the transportation waits to take you back to Huaraz city. Arrival in your hotel in Huaraz around 16:30 h.
