The hikers paradise

One of the best one-day treks in Peru

The epic Laguna 69 is known for its turquoise color and spectacular scenery. The lake sits at the base of a giant glacier in the Cordillera Blancas called, adorably, Pisco Peak. The trek up to Laguna 69 takes approximately 3 hours for a 14 km round trip. Once you get to the lake, you can take a cold refreshing dip in the blue lake before hiking down. The hike starts near Huaraz, you can reach the trailhead by hiring a taxi or to jump on a mini-bus shuttle.
