Description
While just seeing one of the beautiful high altitude lagoons in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru is an amazing experience, seeing several of them is nothing short of sensational. And on this full day trip, you will get to see a number of gorgeous lagoons in the Huascaran National park, including the Laguna Rajupaquinan (3,950), the Laguna 513 (4,525m), and more. On this adventure, you will get to gaze in awe at the unique and stunning turquoise color of the water.
The trip will begin with a scenic drive from Huaraz (3,100m). We will depart early in the morning, at approximately 6:00 am. During the drive you will see a number of highlights in the area, including the Callejon de Huaylas and the Valle del Rio, along with several small villages.
An additional 4 to 5 hours of this trip will be spent hiking through the Huascaran National Park. During this hike, you will get to see the abundance of lovely flora and fauna, including native Quenuales trees, along with several different medicinal plants. You will also get to look up and admire a number of the snow capped peaks in the Cordillera Blanca. After a few hours, we will reach the lagoons, beginning with Rajupaquinan. From there, we will continue venturing on to the Laguna 513 and Qochqas.
At the conclusion of the trip, we will drive back to Huaraz, but not before stopping in the town of Carhuaz (2,650m), where you can enjoy some local cuisine.
To participate in this trip all you have to do is send me a request. I look forward to guiding you.
I can also take you to the Laguna 69 and the Laguna Churup.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
