The Route 

The roads from Yungay to the lakes of Llanganuco in the Huascarán National Park are dirt roads and some sections of this road might be bumpy in addition to winding sections in the ascent/descent to and from the destination.

Panorma Trekking Trail

• Ice/Snow: This trail may sometimes be covered in snow and/or iced sections. Extreme caution is required.
• There are no established toilets along the trail at any point.
• There are some crossings of small rivers and streams that do not have any bridges but only large rocks serving as stepping stones.

Acclimatization

At least one to two acclimatization day treks are recommended before embarking on Panorama trek. Do not underestimate the difficulty of this trek even though rated as moderate. If you have just arrived from another high-altitude location, discuss with us the feasibility of doing it on your first full day.

Recommendations for Best Seasons

All-year-round. The best time to do the Panorama trek is from mid-April to late September or early October. April, May, and June are the best months for lovers of flowers and green landscapes. July through August are the best months for blue sky & also an excellent period for photographers (warm colors and clear blue skies are great!). From September to April, you get a mixed sunny and pretty cloudy landscape.

Weather in Lake 69 / Panorama

Panorama trek is part of the Cordillera Blanca mountain range which has a semi-dry and semi-cold climate, with an average maximum temperature of 23.9° C (75.0° F) and a minimum of 1.1° C (33.98° F). The climate is very unpredictable, even in the dry season it can rain. During the days, it can vary from hot to very frigid temperatures, including rain and strong winds or snow over 4800 meters above sea level. It usually starts getting cloudy more often in early September. October and November are the months when, after 2-3 pm, you can count on afternoon showers.

List of Items for the hike

(the essential personal items needed for our Panorama trek are provided after the tour booking). To have an idea, ensure that you have the clothing and items for all types of weather conditions as the conditions in the mountains can vary every day, i.e., even in summer, it can be cold, or it could rain.

ITINERARY

Note: trek times are approximate based on a slow pace and show maximum durations per section
Departure with private transport from Huaraz will be at 2:00 am heading north towards Yungay from where we leave the main road and head up through some villages to the Llanganuco Sector of the Huascarán National Park. As it starts getting light, we arrive at our trail starting point (4,650m), where we will first have breakfast as the sun rises over the Cordillera Blanca - lighting up Peru’s highest mountain Nevado Huascarán (6,768m) with the pyramid of Nevado Chopicalqui at its left.
Down across the valley, the rising sun lights up the Llanganuco lakes, the Huandoy Massif, and the peaks of Pisco and Chacraraju.
Heading off on our trail, we’ll get to our first viewpoint at 4,700m with breathtaking views and panoramas, and now Nevado Yanapaccha and its glacier are visible too. Place where we start our first descent of the day along some rock and slopes and eventually through a Queñual forest to a pale green glacial lake below Nevado Yanapaccha. Here we start the final part of the first descent to where we join the classic trail to Laguna 69 at 4,200m altitude.
The remaining 3km ascends again, passing other lakes and some stunning waterfalls till we reach Laguna 69 at 4,625m altitude after about 1.5 hours. Time to relax, have some lunch, and take a lot of photos. The descent to our vehicle will follow the classic Laguna 69 trail to Cebollapampa from where we will head back to Huaraz.

    Loved this option to make the laguna 69 trek a little more interesting and add in some good views of all the mountains, especially the desired Huascaran. This company is so professional, and the food was delicious! All the guides have very good English, lots of knowledge, and wonderful personalities. I am someone who usually hates tours so it means a lot for me to recommend a tour company and this is one I will definitely be recommending. Thanks!

    This is a fabulous day hike. You will arrive at the start point before sunrise and the view is absolutely incredible. Seeing the sun rise over Huascaran, Pisco, and the valley below is absolutely stunning. Taking the alternate route provides amazing views the entire way although the trail itself is slightly more difficult to follow. The guide was amazing, the lunch was really good, and I would recommend this hike to absolutely everyone!
