The Santa Cruz Trek
We spent 4 days walking the famous Santa Cruz trek, through the Huascarán national park from Vaquería to Cashapampa. We hired a guide, Scheler, for the trip, who doubled as our cook. We decided against hiring a burro (mule), so carried everything ourselves - including the heavy tent we rented.
We left Huaraz on a bus, and, after a few hours, entered the park, climbing past beautiful lakes, over the snowline at the high Portachuelo de Llaganuco pass, to the tiny hamlet of Vaquería (3700m), where the trek starts.
