Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo

Huaraz is Peru's trekking capital in the Cordillera Blanca — the Santa Cruz Trek and the Laguna 69 day hike are among the most beautiful mountain experiences in South America. Most solo trekkers join guided groups; experienced mountaineers can go with just an arriero (muleteer). The Laguna 69 hike is doable day-trip style. Altitude (3,052m) requires acclimatization; spend a day before trekking.
