Overview

Hike to Pastoruri Glacier on a full-day trip from Huaraz that takes in one of tropical South America’s last remaining glaciers. An hour-long walk brings spectacular views of a glacier that’s melting quickly in a warming climate—and it’s also a chance to see towering Puya raimondii plants in their natural habitat. Included, round-trip transport makes the trip doable on a day trip, without an overnight stay in the national park.

Convenient central Huaraz pickup option saves time
Hike with a guide to explore safely
See an iconic plant in its alpine habitat
Learn about the impact of a changing climate in Peru

Great tour as advertised!

Lynn_D, May 2026

Wonderful tour! The van was comfortable & we left at the time specified. The driver was great & the tour guide was very knowledgeable. He also took very good care of everyone & even spoke some English for the only non-Spanish speaking participant. We had enough time at the glacier & other stops without being bored. Would recommend!
