RAJUCOLTA LAKE

Are you looking for a gentle hike to kickstart your adventures in Huaraz? Rajucolta Lake, also known as Tambillos, is the perfect choice. Nestled in a quiet valley southeast of the city, this serene lagoon sits at the base of the snow-capped Nevado Huantsán, offering breathtaking views with minimal effort.

This trail is ideal for beginners or anyone looking to acclimatize to the altitude. You will follow a wide, mostly flat path through the Rajucolta Valley, a tranquil stretch of Huascarán National Park rich in Andean flora and fauna. With bird songs, a refreshing mountain breeze, and stunning glacier reflections, it's nature therapy at its finest.
