Huaraz – Llaca Ravine – Llaca Lagoon Hike – Return to Huaraz

Distance from Huaraz: approx. 25 km by vehicle, 5 to 6 km on foot
Difficulty Level: Moderate

After hotel pickup, we’ll head by vehicle toward Llaca Ravine via the route that passes through the village of Marian. After about 1.5 hours of travel, we begin our hike at the entrance of the Llaca Valley, following the river that flows down from the lagoon of the same name. The trail gradually ascends through the valley, and after approximately 2 to 3 hours, we’ll reach Llaca Lagoon (4,470 meters / 14,665 ft), known for its turquoise waters and dramatic location beneath the towering peaks of Ocshapalca (5,888 m / 19,318 ft) and Ranrapalca (6,162 m / 20,217 ft).

After spending time at the lagoon and taking plenty of photos, we’ll return to the Llaca refuge where our vehicle will be waiting to take us back to Huaraz.
