Cordillera Blanca Hiking (Day hikes)

The Cordillera Blanca is a hiker’s paradise, boasting dramatic snow-covered peaks and sparkling turquoise glacial lagoons. It lays claim to being the highest tropical mountain range in the world and its concentration of high peaks are considered by many as second only to Annapurna in the Himalayas. Basing yourself at LLanganuco Mountain Lodge you can enjoy beautiful views and privileged access to the Huascarán National Park, taking advantage of a variety of day treks that offer incredible Cordillera Blanca hiking without the need for prior acclimatization.  This suggested 5-day lodge-based trip takes in highlights like Laguna 69. This itinerary can be shortened or extended to take more challenging Cordillera Blanca hiking, visit the ruins of Chavin, or pack your bags and hike the popular Santa Cruz camping trek after acclimatizing. Just let us know your interests the level of difficulty you’re after (or not!) and we’ll give you bespoke suggestions.
