Join Juventino, a local IFMGA certified mountain guide, in this 1-day hiking tour to the deep blue Lagoon 69. Is a trek that does not require any technical experience and lets you discover on the way, the most amazing peaks of the Cordillera Blanca.
Description
Have you ever heard of Lagoon 69? It’s one of the most impressive lagoons of the Cordillera Blanca. This time, I want to take you there!
Besides being beautiful, the Lagoon 69 trek is one of the easiest ones in the region. And no matter if it is a cloudy day or the sun shines, its waters are always reflecting an intense blue that will remind you to the Caribbean.
The lake lies in the Llanganuco Valley. Our starting point is at the bottom of the Demanda Valley. The surrounding landscapes of the Lagoon 69 are really breathtaking, with the snow-capped peaks of the Chacraraju, Pisco and Huandoy.
Getting to Laguna 69 will takes us between 3 or 4 hours, depending on your fitness level. On the way, we’ll do some stops so you can admire the landscape as well as some vizcachas hiding behind the rocks. Returning to the starting point will take us other 2 more hours.
During the return, we will have splendid views of the Huascaran, Chopicalqui, Huandoy and Pisco. Furthermore, we can see the Chacraraju and the Yanapacha from a very short distance
This trek to the Lagoon 69 is available from January to December. I can lead large groups of people, up to 20 guests or more. I don’t have an open group yet so I will open a new one when you and your friends book your places. Remember I can also organize private trips upon request.
So, if you’re planning to come to the Cordillera Blanca any time of this year please contact me. Let’s conquer the most beautiful landscapes of this Andean region!

We had a very nice experience with Juventino. He was very nice to us, always taking care of our needs. I\'ll for sure hire him again to be my guide if I go back to Huaraz. I absolutely recommend him!

My visit to Huaraz was one of the most beautiful trips of my life. Our days of adventure began with the visit of lagoons in the white mountain range; wilcacocha, churup, paron, lagoon 69 and we finish with the most beautiful Santa Cruz trek. Our trip was a complete success, during the stay in Huaraz we stayed at the ALPAMAYO GUEST HOUSE hotel, an excellent place in the center of Huaraz. I recommend Mr. Juventino to make his trip and his hotel the and if nice family People.
