The Andean Paradise
I traveled to Huancaya via Huancayo, Junín. The journey was filled with breathtaking landscapes, transitioning from vast open meadows to being surrounded by rocky mountains almost as if they wanted to block our path, with a crystal-clear river by our side most of the time. Arriving in Huancaya was the realization of a long-awaited trip, with radiant sunshine during the day and intense cold at night. Vilca and Huancaya seem like paradise with their crystal-clear green-toned waters, a beautiful sight. Truly impressive, highly recommended 100%....

Route The Lost Ucte Lagoon
Our challenge was to conquer the great Ucte lagoon. We began the journey, arriving at the town of Ayas, we embarked on a full trekking climb, walking for over 5 hours in the mountains to reach the ruins of Huacapune. We spent the night there and continued the journey at 5 am, heading towards the Ucte lagoon, walking for over 7 hours at an altitude of 4650 meters above sea level. Thinking we would never make it, our guide told us it was beyond that peak. We motivated ourselves and kept walking towards that peak for almost two hours. When we were close, we could glimpse a magnificent natural spectacle, very still yet resonant with beauty and a color never seen by my eyes, a pure crystal green, transparent like glass. A giant lagoon lay before our eyes, I saw it and cried, it was the great Ucte lagoon. Today I can say it has been conquered. I still remember it in my memories. I will return for you, my beautiful Ucte....

"At the top of the Cordillera Blanca we can appreciate how extraordinary nature can be. There, where the snow-capped mountains thaw, the peaceful Churup lagoon is born, located at an altitude of 4,450 meters". The Churup lagoon is located between the towns of Llupa and Pitec, in the Huascarán National Park. It is situated at an altitude of 4,450 meters above sea level. This lagoon gifts us with an impressive turquoise color that blends with warm hues at sunset. This major tourist attraction for travelers is one of the most visited in Áncash and is only minutes away from Huaraz. The route: Many tourists take a bus from the center of Huaraz to the town of Pitec, located to the east of the province. The journey lasts no more than twenty minutes and passes through the towns of Unchus and Llupa. The fare does not exceed five soles. At the beginning of the hike, you enter the Churup gorge and from there you will encounter rough terrain. There are even parts where rock climbing is required. After the initial ascent, the landscape becomes flat, vegetation is visible, and you will feel the change in altitude. The birdsong provides the necessary encouragement to reach the desired destination. Additionally, you can observe waterfalls cascading over rocks. Finally, after about three hours of hiking, you will behold the unique landscape offered by the Churup lagoon.

Trekking to Marcahuasi
Impressive monuments with human and animal shapes accompany the way to the Marcahuasi plateau, one of the Seven Wonders of Peru. The enigmatic history surrounding it creates an atmosphere of mysterious peace for adventurers who enjoy Trekking. Photo: luisparodi.wordpress.com It is almost mandatory to engage in this discipline if you want to visit Marcahuasi, as access roads can only be traversed on foot, horseback, or with a donkey, although this option becomes challenging due to the steep terrain along most of the route. Trekking Route to Marcahuasi To reach Marcahuasi, one needs to be in good physical condition, as the hike requires considerable endurance. The adventure begins in the district of San Pedro de Casta, one of the 32 districts of the Huarochirí Province. A huge church stands in its uneven square, and from there, the journey to Marcahuasi begins. This circuit can be done on horseback (three hours) or you can choose between two paths. The shorter one takes two to three hours and leads you to the Monument to Humanity, standing at 25 meters high; the second, longer path takes you to the amphitheater area, the best place to camp due to its wind-protected location. - Walking Distance The distance is over 12 km, passing through slopes, more than 15 ravines, and very narrow dirt paths. Along the way, you will see attractive landscapes, brown and green mountains, feeling like you are ascending to the sky. - Difficulty Level The route is very challenging due to the terrain, distance, and especially the high altitude of the location. It is recommended to undertake this activity for individuals in good physical condition, with an intermediate level of trekking experience. - Duration of the Journey It takes approximately 4 hours to reach Marcahuasi. - Season The best time to visit Marcahuasi is between April and October when rainfall decreases. What to Bring Sneakers or trekking shoes with good grip Camping tent (preferably for high altitudes) Flashlight Camera Matches or lighter Still water 2 to 5L Dried fruits (raisins, pecans, etc.), chocolates, lemon candies, etc., for quick energy replenishment Sunscreen, cocoa butter for lips or lip balms, gloves, scarf, caps, and/or woolen hats Two sets of clothes: jacket (preferably waterproof or fleece), warm pants Sleeping bag First aid kit containing primarily an inhaler Trekking Video in Marcahuasi Video: TraveleandoPeru Recommendations If you are camping, bring warm clothing as temperatures drop significantly at night, also a good tent that can withstand cold and strong winds. Bring all necessary items before leaving San Pedro de Casta because you won't find any commerce in Marcahuasi. Reserve pack animals in advance, as on busy days, the rental of donkeys and horses can get saturated. If you prefer not to carry your luggage for 4 hours, it's better to arrange this ahead of time.
