The two stunning Llanganuco Lakes, also known as Lake Chinancocha and Lake Orconcocha, lie at 3860m above sea level in a narrow glacial valley at the northern end of the Huascaran National Park, 28km east of Yungay. These pristine lagoons are a mesmerising sight with their brilliant turquoise colour and splendid location at the foot of Peru’s highest peak, the mighty Mount Huascaran (6768m), and with fantastic views over the neighbouring perennially ice-capped peaks of Yanapaccha (5460m), Chopicalqui (6354m) and Chacraraju (6112m). It is possible to follow a short trail that skirts around the shores of Lake Chinancocha through forests of quenual (polylepis) trees. Boat hire is also available at the lake. The Llanganuco Lakes are one of the jewels of the Cordillera Blanca and should not be missed. A visit here is ideal for acclimatisation purpose before setting off further into the mountains, and does not require any special level of fitness.

After a dangerous trip, is really an amazing landscape!
