Lake Shallap is a stunning glacier lake in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru. Not many people know of this hiking path, so join me to explore it while it is still a hidden gem.
On this exciting day trip, we’ll begin by driving from Huaraz to the Jancu village, where our hike will begin. The hiking path will show us some Andean trees, like the quenual, and treat us to dazzling views. We’ll reach Lake Shallap, an impressive lake at the feet of the snow-covered iconic peaks of San Juan and Huantsán (6,395 m) where we’ll enjoy a boxed lunch and some picture time. Finally, we’ll take the same trail back to Jancu up to a car that will take us back to Huaraz.
This is a difficult and long hike that requires acclimatization (we offer it at Lake Churup) and an excellent physical condition. We’ll reach an altitude of 4,250 meters above sea level. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you on the way!
So send your request! I can guarantee you’ll love this remote and fantastic hiking path in Peru. I would love to be your guide.
The Cordillera Blanca offers tons of possibilities to explore. If you are looking for more options, check out the trips I offer to Cordillera Huayhuash or the Olleros-Chavin trail.

IFMGA/UIAGM guide from Perú.
I was born in the Huaraz city, which is located between cordillera blanca & cordillera negra neighbor of huayhuash mountain range.
My passion for the mountain was born since I was a child, because I watched my father going to the mountain. When I was 13 years old I started going on treks with my father and clients, and as soon as I finished my high school I applied to the high school mountain center studies (CEAM) in 2001 and I graduated as an official mountain guide in 2005.
I have a wide guiding experience in trekking and climbing, organizing, trekking and climbing expeditions into cordillera Blanca & huayhuash in the Peruvian mountains.
I guided successfully in Mexico, Argentina where I climbed conquering the mount Aconcagua at (6959 m).
In Peru I have climbed the most beautiful mountain in the world mount "Alpamayo", and the Peruvian highest peak "mount Huascaran south peak". In 2005 I made a speed record climbing mounts "Alpamayo" & "Quitaraju" in 32 hours 16 minutes. I also opened some new routes to climbing in cordillera Blanca.
Aside from the AGMP / IFMGA certification, I also have the WFR certification.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
