Hi !

After the busy streets of Huaraz and an excursion to Laguna Wilcacocha, it was about time to hit the road to a more remote location. Pitec was the perfect choice.

It took 20km of an epic unsealed road, passing through rural areas, to reach the plateau at some 3700m (we started at 3000m). Here’s the view from our accommodation, the last hostel before the National Park entrance (some 4km away).

A very cold night was expected, the hostel was minimal as about every other houses up there, but it was guaranteed to have the same view the next morning while I enjoy a breakfast..

The plan for the next day was to do the Laguna Churup trail (a short yet challenging trail, which involves some scary climbing using pre-installed ropes).

Enjoy (or not) and stay tuned !
