Day 1: Huaraz – Portachuelo Pass – Paria (3 hours of trekking).

We will meet early at our meeting point to take our vehicle to the starting point of the trek. We will pass through various towns, including the Portachuelo pass at an altitude of 4,767 meters (15,640 feet), before reaching Lake Llanganuco. We will start the day's trek from here, and pass through the town of Huaripampa before reaching the Paria camp to eat dinner and go to sleep.

Day 2: Punta Unión – Taullipampa (6 hours of trekking).

We will leave camp early for the highest point of the day, Punta Unión, at an altitude of 4,750 meters (15,584 feet). They say this trail was used in pre-Columbian times to transport goods. From this point, and if cloud conditions permit, we will be able to enjoy views of the majority of the mountains of the Santa Cruz Valley. After taking a short break and some pictures, we will continue on the descent until the next camp, Taullipampa.

Day 3: Llamacorral (5 hours of trekking).

We will get up to eat breakfast and then start the day's trek. We will see different mountains along the way, such as Artesonraju, Alpamayo, and Taulliraju, among others, as well as some lakes: Hatuncocha and Arhuaycocha. Then, we will arrive at our last camp, Taullipampa, to eat dinner and go to sleep.

Day 4: Cashapampa – Huaraz (3 hours of trekking).

We will eat breakfast and start the hike down to Cashapampa while observing the change in vegetation in the landscape. Our vehicle will be awaiting us here to take us back to the city of Huaraz to end the activity.
