Ubicada en la Cordillera Blanca en los Andes peruanos, la clásica Santa Cruz de 4 días es una de las caminatas más hermosas del mundo.

Day 1: Huaraz -> Vaquería -> Paria Camp
Trekking Time: 4-5 hours
Distance: ~11 km (7 miles)
Start Altitude: 3,700 m (Vaqueria)
Campsite Altitude: 3,870 m (Paria)
You’ll start with a 3-4 hour scenic drive from Huaraz, crossing the Portachuelo de Llanganuco pass (4,767 m) with stunning views of Huascarán and the Llanganuco lakes. The trek begins at Vaquería. Today is a relatively easy, gentle uphill hike through a wide valley, passing small settlements before reaching the first campsite.
Day 2: Paria -> Punta Union Pass -> Taullipampa Camp
Trekking Time: 7-8 hours
Distance: ~13 km (8 miles)
Highest Altitude: 4,750 m (Punta Union)
Campsite Altitude: 4,250 m (Taullipampa)
This is the most challenging and rewarding day. You’ll ascend steeply for several hours to reach the trek’s high point, the Punta Union Pass (4,750 m). From the pass, you are surrounded by a breathtaking panorama of snow-capped peaks, including Taulliraju, Artesonraju (the “Paramount” mountain), and the Santa Cruz valley below. After celebrating at the top, you’ll descend to the beautiful Taullipampa campsite, set in a meadow with a direct view of Taulliraju.
Day 3: Taullipampa -> Llamacorral Camp
Trekking Time: 5-6 hours
Distance: ~16 km (10 miles)
Campsite Altitude: 3,760 m (Llamacorral)
Today is a long, gradual descent through the Santa Cruz valley.
Optional Side Trip: Many groups take a 2 – 3 hours round-trip detour to Laguna Arhuaycocha (4,450 m), a stunning glacial lake at the base of Alpamayo.
After the side trip, you’ll continue down the valley, passing the turquoise Laguna Jatuncocha. The campsite at Llamacorral is in a wide, grassy part of the valley.
Day 4: Llamacorral -> Cashapampa -> Huaraz
Trekking Time: 3-4 hours
Distance: ~10 km (6 miles)
End Altitude: 2,900 m (Cashapampa)
The final day is a straightforward, and at times steep, descent down the narrow end of the valley. You’ll follow the river until you reach the village of Cashapampa. Here, your transport will be waiting to drive you back to Huaraz, which takes about 3 hours.
