Unesco world heritage site 333. 2022.08.20 0500 PET-RMN update: Visited on Wednesday 2022.08.17. It was very beautiful. We went to the twin lakes of Chinaconcho and Orconcocha, which were amazing. The turquoise color of the water, particularly for Chinaconcho, is unworldly! We took the short row boat ride around the lake, which was very peaceful and enjoyable. The lakes are flanked by Mount Huascarán on the right (6,768 meters/22,205 feet above sea level - the tallest mountain in Peru) and Mount Huandoy on the left (6,395 meters/20,981 feet above sea level). There were not too many people there as we visited it mid-week, mid-day. The weather was perfect, about 70 degrees farenheit, however be aware that temperatures drop into the 30s farenheit at night. They have bathrooms there but they charge 1 sol to use it and the men's room did not have any toilet seats (all typical in Peru). It is about an 8-9 hour drive from Lima, about 2-3 hour drive from Huaraz.

One of the best parks I've ever had the pleasure of going to. I've spent the last few days in Huaraz and have been on a few hikes, they did not disappoint. The stunning views and peacefulness of the park is amazing. My friend made the most of it and has some fantastic drone shots that really show of the natural beauty of the park. I will be looking to return one day.

If you come here I recommend camping. There's an entrance fee into the park, but the camping is free. You'll be greeted by donkeys, horses and cows who graze in the area and love the interaction. The views are spectacular at the campsite and the sky is usually clear at night which makes for perfect stargazing. There's a local family that lives up there that'll sell snacks and drinks at slightly higher prices than regular, but nothing too expensive. There's plenty of hiking and climbing to do there with spectacular views at every step. The hike to Laguna 69 is well worth the two hour hike. Take sunscreen though as the sun can get pretty brutal. Also, prepare for an hour+ of unpaved road to get there. Don't let that deter you this place is one of the best spots in Peru!

This is a beautiful place to visit. You will not regret going here. The Laguna is so beautiful between the snowy peaks. If you have a nice day, the view can be spectacular. The drive up there is also beautiful. You will love it!

Awesome experience on Parque Nacional Huascarán one video download to Facebook for group this is not my video thank you too Google Map

Beautiful! I loved the Laguna 69. The hike to the lake is very nice and not to hard for a normal experienced person. The hike is about 2,5 h! The lake was way more blue than I expected:)

The favorite national park in all of South America. Due to altitude and incline, it's not the easiest place to trek, however, it is highly rewarding. It is advised for travelers to spend few days in Huaraz before heading into the mountains. Four or five day Santa Cruz trek is the most popular one but there are 10+ day treks available as well. There are few one day treks also.

Impressive park. I've been traveling for 4 years, and this is in the top 2 places I've been in from Central America, Colombia and Ecuador. Glacier lakes, waterfalls to numerous to mention, glaciers and mountain streams by the dozen. You definitely want to take the trip from Carhuaz to Chacas. And if you can't get a window seat, wait for another bus. If your not by the window, you'll miss some of the most amazing scenery on earth. If your into the outdoors, there's hiking to mountain glacier lakes, there's rock and ice climbing, and if your into Mountain climbing - well, there's dozens to choose from. Even if you're in your 60's like me, and are not as active as you once were, this park will not disappoint you. It's your loss if you come to Peru and do not go to this park. I'd put it up there with the best parks of any in the world.

El huascaran es un hermoso lugar para conocer, paseas, descansar o hacer deporte de aventura.

Puya Raimondii, or the Queen of the Andes, is a plant found in Bolivia & Peru between 3000 and 4000m. It looks like a cactus and can be as high as 15m. This one was found in 1992 above Huaraz after a 2hrs climb in the fields

Incredible experience, depending on the point of entry the park has amenities such as bathrooms, snack/water sellers and track informations

Amazing park you could endlessly explore. 30 soles for visitors 5 for locals

Absolutely stunning scenery minutes outside of Huaraz and the views are spectacular. Perfect for an acclimatization hike.

Very Nice Park Huascarán National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Huascarán) is a Peruvian national park that comprises most of the mountain range known as Cordillera Blanca (the world's highest tropical mountain range) which is part of the central Andes, in the region of Ancash. The park covers an area of 340,000 ha (ca. 3.400 km2) and is managed by the Peruvian Network of Protected Natural Areas: SERNANP (Servicio Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas). It was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1985 by UNESCO,  is also a well-known mountaineering spot and harbors a unique biodiversity with plant species such as the Queen of the Andes, trees of the genera Polylepis and Buddleja,  and animals such as spectacled bears, condors, vicunas and tarucas. The park is approximately 150 kilometres (93 mi) long from north to south and averages about 25 kilometres (16 mi) in width. The western slope of the Cordillera Blanca drains to the Pacific Ocean via the Santa River and the eastern slopes drain to the Marañon River, and ultimately to the Amazon River and the Atlantic Ocean.

Beautiful national park with great hiking

Great place to go, lots of nice walks to go on!

What a gorgeous view and majestic place!

Beautiful national park with amazing scenery. The park has many different treks for all levels and ages. Very clean and tidy campsites and not too many tourist around. We hiked the Santa cruz trek 3 days and it was the most beautiful scenery we saw in all of Peru. Good options with local transport to and from the trailheads and finishing points.

The most impressive national park in Perú, it has over 700 peaks and over 1000 lakes, it cosas 30 soles for foreigners and 12 soles for pericias each day, a little bit expensive but it is worth, you can get into easy tours like laguna llanganuco, laguna 69 y nevado pastoruri

Must visit! Beautiful national park

Sublime beauty - villages, valleys, rivers, waterfalls, staggering snowcapped Andes, unearthly azure alpine lakes, horses, and boundless warmth of the Peruvian people. This place will profoundly charm you.
