The Valley of Santa Cruz is one of the most popular trekking routes due to the fact that in a just few days you can enjoy the variety of attractive rivers (of which the headwaters are located high in the Peruvian Andes and ends up in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans), the turquoise lagoons, the abundance of wild flowers, the diverse fauna and the magnificent mountains that tower above the valley: Santa Cruz, Alpamayo, Quitaraju, Rinrihirca, Taulliraju, Artesonraju. The walk over the Punta Unión pass 4750m will give us a chance to acclimatize before ascending the easy peaks of Pisco and Chopicalqui. |
