6:00 am We will begin the walk along the moraine for approximately 1 hour until we reach the base of the glacier where we will put on the crampons and the guide will string them to begin climbing the mountain to the summit for approximately 1 hour, after contemplating the view of the snowy Contrahiervas and the small and large Cancará lagoons. From the summit we will begin to descend along the same route until we reach the vehicle and then return to Huaraz.
