    Emplacement et comment s'y rendre

    Laguna 69 is nestled in the Cordillera Blanca mountain range, approximately 100 kilometers northeast of Huaraz in northern Peru. The lake lies within Huascarán National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. To reach the trailhead, most visitors arrange transportation from Huaraz via organized tours or private vehicles. The journey takes about 3 hours by car, followed by a challenging hike of 4–6 hours round-trip.

    Heures d'ouverture et billets

    The lake is accessible year-round, but the trail is most frequently used during the dry season (May–September). There is no formal entrance fee for Laguna 69 itself, but visitors must pay the Huascarán National Park entrance fee (approximately 30 PEN for foreigners, 10 PEN for locals), which can be purchased at the park office in Huaraz or at checkpoints along the route.

    Meilleur moment pour visiter

    The ideal time to hike is early morning (departing Huaraz by 5 AM) to avoid afternoon cloud cover and enjoy clearer views of the turquoise waters. The dry season offers the most stable weather, though temperatures can drop significantly, even in daylight hours.
