The Huapi Pass: A 3-Day Alpine Journey to the Hidden Lakes

Your journey begins with a private pickup from your hotel in Huaraz, heading toward the majestic Huascarán National Park. Upon arriving at the trailhead in the Quillcayhuanca valley, you will meet your professional local team—guides, cooks, and muleteers—who will be your companions and protectors throughout the expedition. As we begin the trek, you will witness the raw beauty of the high-altitude tropics, moving through a landscape of vertical granite peaks and turquoise glacial lakes like Tullpacocha in a safe, expertly managed environment.

Walk alongside our certified guides, who share the ancestral stories of the Cordillera Blanca and the individual history of the communities that call these mountains home. Throughout the route, you will have the freedom to photograph and immerse yourself in the landscape at your own pace, especially as we approach the monumental walls of Pucaranra and Chinchey, while our team monitors your well-being with professional safety protocols and $O_{2}$ saturation checks.

As the sun begins to set, arrive at our exclusive campsites where the magic of Andean hospitality truly shines. Instead of basic rations, you will enjoy nutritious, high-protein meals prepared by our mountain chefs, designed to fuel your recovery for the challenging Cuchillacocha Pass (4,850m). While our team handles the logistics and equipment, you can focus on the breathtaking views of the surrounding glaciers, sharing a hot coffee and stories with your fellow travelers and the local crew.

On the final day, descend through the dramatic, narrow landscapes of the Cojup Valley until reaching the trailhead. After bidding farewell to your new local friends and the team that ensured your safety, our private transport will take you back to Huaraz. You return not just with memories, but with the peace of mind that comes from a truly human and professional experience by Andeando Peru
