Complete package

You start the walk by following the valley for some 40 minutes, then climb continuously on a zig zag track for about 2 hour 40 minutes to Laguna 69, a beautiful lake of the most brilliant blue colour (4500m). The lake is surrounded by the mountains Chacrarju and Pisco which leave reflections on the lake. On the return walk you look directly towards the mountains Huascaran, Chopicalqui and Yanapaccha. The hike from Cebollapampa to Laguna 69 & return is about 5 ½ hours.

On the car journey we stop at the beautiful turquoise and light blue twin lakes of Llanganuco
– one lake female and one lake male. The lakes lie between the mountains of Huascaran
and Huandoy and are surrounded by groves of ancient quenual trees.
This is a long & tiring day & should not be considered suitable for your first day hike at high
altitude, but is a good second or third day hike option
