Itinerary description
Trail from Vaquería to Cashapampa via:
- Laguna Huiscash (15.9 km)
- Paso Punta Union (18.6 km)
- Laguna Jatuncocha (30.9 km)
- Laguna Ichiccocha (33.7 km)
We did not visit the top of Arhuaycocha because it was very cloudy, you can do it ofcourse if the weather is good!
This trek was done in January, we had good weather conditions (luckily).
You can do this in summer season by yourself or with a partner. In low season now (January) i would not recommend it but still possible ofc. The reason is because in summer season alot of organised groups go and you'll not be able to get lost.
Goodluck!
