We continue to Huaraz (3,100 m.a.s.l), the “Capital of Mountaineering and International Friendship.”

We stayed overnight at our hotel in Huaraz City.

We drive up across the Santa River Valley where we admire the magnificent Cordillera Blanca (white mountain range), perennially snowed peaks; in the way crossing the typical towns of Recuay, Ticapampa and Catac.

We arrive at the Conococha lake where we observe migratory andean birds like the flamingo or Parihuana which nest in the lake during their migration. From here we can observe the impressive Cordillera Huayhuash. We descend to Chiquian town (3,400 m.a.s.l), and continue to drive until Cuartel Huain and after a short hike we set our camp (4, 100 m.a.s.l).

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

In the morning we leave Jahuacocha passing along lupinus tree. We admire the Hirishanca iced peak, and the beautiful Jahuacocha and Solteracocha lakes. We arrive at the beautiful Rasac Cocha Lake (4,650 m.a.s.l) in the base of an impressive glacier. After lunch we return to our camp in Jahuacocha.
