Alpamayo: Elias & Team Take Acclimatization Hike, Enjoy Huaraz

Elevation: 10,000'

Sunday, June 24, 2018 - 9:13 PM PT Good evening from Huaraz! It never gets old... our standard acclimatization hike (in picture here) to Churup Lake at 4,400m is a half day endeavor for virtually every Alpamayo Expedition in the last five years. A couple thousand feet of elevation gain to an incredible glacial lake below a radical looking peak baring the same name, provided for us the perfect exercise on after all the travels. A speedy descent brought us to our private van, and we were shuttled to Peruvian delicacies in downtown, before retreating back to the hotel to pack for tomorrow's hike in to the Santa Cruz Valley and start our approach to Alpamayo Base Camp. The real adventure is about to start! Everyone is excited and motivated. Next post will be from the woods... stay tuned!!! RMI Guide Elias de Andres Martos and team
