LAKE SHALLAP
Are you searching for a peaceful hike in the heart of the Andes? Lake Shallap is the perfect escape—easy to reach, ideal for acclimatization, and full of surprises. Nestled in the Shallap Valley, east of Huaraz, this high-altitude lagoon stands out with its unique greenish colour, which is caused by ferrite oxide in its waters. It's a natural wonder you won't encounter every day!
Whether you're warming up for more challenging hikes or just want a full-day adventure surrounded by nature, Lake Shallap delivers. The trail is long but not technical, making it perfect for hikers with a solid fitness base. You'll walk along glacier-fed rivers, through serene valleys, and conclude your journey at 4,281 m.a.s.l. with a breathtaking view of the surreal-colored lake.
