Trip Overview
The Huscaran National Park is pretty as a picture. This amazing place is a stupendous natural area in which the geological formations, the glacier-covered peaks, the high mountain lakes, and all the flora and fauna that make up the myriad of ecosystems of the Cordillera Blanca, are protected. The Cordillera Blanca is the most extensive tropical mountain range in the world, and in 1985 it was declared as part of the Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. For adventure lovers, trekkers, and climbers, it is one of the Top Places when visiting Peru.
Huascaran National Park is well known for its fantastic natural beauty. It has a large number of snow-covered peaks that are higher than 6000 metres in elevation. Some of the incredible tourist destinations in the area include: Huascaran Peak (6768 m.), Alpamayo Peak (5947 m), Llanganuco Lagoon, and the Lagoon 69. When you explore these places, you will see the fragility of life on earth. Here you can observe with your own eyes the consequences of global warming, and the rapid changes which are taking place today.
This area is also renowned for its outdoor adventure sports such as trekking, rock climbing, glacier climbing, and mountain biking. There are 25 different circuits and 33 separate mountain and glacial climbing sites. You will be able to marvel at 33 separate pre-Hispanic archeological sites; and you’ll be able to observe 112 bird species, 13 species of mammals, the great spectacled bear, and the Puya Raimondi which is the world’s largest Bromeliad. This plant produces 18,000 flowers and 6 million seeds during its lifetime. Why don’t you try off season? March, April, September and October are particularly good months, either side of high season, the weather is still decent and there are fewer people!
