Trek to Lake 69 in Cordillera Blanca

Full day trek to lake 69 in the Cordillera Blanca, hiking to the Llanganuco’s lake and Laguna 69.
Hike acclimatization in the Cordillera Blanca full day from Huaraz with guide transport and tickets to the Huascaran National Park. With cloudy or clear skies, the waters of Laguna 69 reflect an intense blue like the Caribbean sea, surrounded by snow-capped mountains like Chacraraju (6112 m), Pisco, Huandoy, Huascaran, and Chopicalqui.
To get to this lake you have to walk for about 3 hours (depending on the rhythm) through the Demanda gorge. On the way you can see several vizcachas among the rocks, the snowy peak of Yanapaccha (5460 m.s.n.m) and what was the Brogui Glacier, which unfortunately has disappeared.
