Descriptions
Santa Cruz Trek. This is the extended version of one of the most popular trekking routes in the Cordillera Blanca. On the one hand, you will depart from Caraz and arrive at Cashapampa. Then you will pass through the valleys of Santa Cruz – Huaripampa and Llanganuco. And finally, you will have a visit to the ‘viewpoint’ of the Alpamayo Base Camp. Between the spectacular peaks of the Cordillera Blanca, the valleys are dotted with stunning turquoise glacial lakes. Most of the treks pass through these valleys, running from west to east through the mountains.
On the other hand, it is between these mountains and valleys where most adventure trips and tours take place. Activities such as: trekking, hiking, mountaineering, climbing, mountain biking, horse riding and others. The impressive views of the Huascarán, Huandoy, Chopicalqui, Pisco, Yanapaccha and Chacraraju hills are the reward of a long ascent. The one that flows into the shores of the upper Llanganuco lake.

Group services versus Private services?
This is a question we all need to ask ourselves when planning a trip. The answer depends largely on the age, the particular interests of each person and, above all, the economy of each passenger. Below, we list the differences between conducting a group service versus a private service. It should be noted that, in either of the two modalities, you will receive top quality care from the entire team of professionals who will make your trip unforgettable
Group Services
- The driver follows the stops designated by the tour
- Groups can have between 15 and 20 people
- Guidance is simultaneous in English and Spanish for the entire group
- The itinerary has to be strict to fulfill the daily plan
- Guidance is available at the same time for the entire group
- The main advantage of group services is the affordable price
Private Services
- The driver will make the necessary stops where you indicate
- Of 5 or more people, the private service has a similar price to the group service.
- You own the time you want to have at each stop
- Guidance is in only 1 language and at the passenger’s choice (prior consultation for rare languages)
- The guide will be available only for you and attentive to your requirements
- The travel experience becomes much more personal and deep in knowledge
