Upon arrival, you will have an opportunity to check-in and rest after your early morning/long night. When ready you can either do a tour of our affiliated community center which supports the local indigenous population and/or do a 2-hour self-guided, map assisted hike around the local area to help acclimatize and acquaint yourself with the local area. At the end of the day take advantage of the wood-fired sauna to help you rest and relax before a four course, family style, dinner. All Meals Included

Test your lungs with your first big hike at altitude up the Cojup valley in Huascaran National Park offering stunning vistas of the most impressive glaciers in the area. At the preferred time your private taxi will come and pick you up at the lodge and drive you to the trail head, 15 minutes away. Around 2 hours into the hike you will come to a lookout over the valley with views of the glaciers Palcaraju and Pucaranra. Two hours after you will arrive to the picturesque Palacocha Lake. Upon arrival enjoy your packed lunch before hiking back down to your private vehicle for your transfer back to the lodge. Hike is 17 km and takes around 7 hours with drop-off and pick-up. This hike is recommended for starting as it offers a gentle incline to the lake with a gentle incline back down.
