Travel Guide

Lake by Pastoruri Glacier, Peru
Lake by Pastoruri Glacier, Peru
If you're not up to a full-day trek at altitude but you still want to get a taster of the spectacular landscapes to be found within the Huascaran National Park in central Peru, the stunning Pastoruri Glacier is the trip for you.

It's the only glacier in the world accessible by road, and the base of it stands at 5050 metres above sea level.  It's a short 1 hour hike from the car park (and another hour back), or you can hire a mule to save your legs (and your breath!)

We booked with Quechuandes in Huaraz:

A really easy day trip from Huaraz, Peru. Due to climate change, the glacier is quickly melting with experts expecting all snow gone in less than 25 years. Go see it while you can!
