Itinerary

Pastoruri Glacier

9 hours Admission not included

At the scheduled time, we will pick you up from your hotel in Huaraz and head by minibus to the Nevado Pastoruri. On the way, we’ll stop at Patococha Lagoon to see Andean birds and at the Pumapampa hot springs, where mineral-rich waters display vivid colors. Nearby, you’ll also find the impressive Puya Raimondi, the plant with the largest inflorescence in the world.

We’ll then enter Huascarán National Park for a 45-minute hike to the Pastoruri Glacier, located at over 5,000 meters above sea level. You’ll have time to enjoy the view, take photos, and breathe in the pure mountain air before some free time for lunch. After about nine hours of adventure, we’ll return to Huaraz.

From April to December, the tour runs from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; from January to March, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
