Trekking Santa Cruz X Llanganuco Cordillera Blanca Peru - The views were amazing! Start with the bus transfer from Huaraz to Vaqueria where we start the walk. The spectacular landscape of Huascaran from the viewpoint and also of others snowed in the sense of Laguna 69 will give us the beginning of a day. Every day had a charm of its own, from the cascatas vegetation, snowfalls and lagoons.
Especially the 2nd day where you pass through Punta Union at 4750m and have a beautiful view of the mountains, snowed around.
The 3rd day also with the approach of the base camp of Alpaymo is very beautiful and with changes of landscape as you walkva 3n direction Taullipampa.
The 4th day is day to enjoy the walk along the river with clear waters and everything around.
Importantly, the Scheller Trekking service gave us comfort and convenience to ensure that we could enjoy all the trekking and nature in a full way. Specialized guide, dedicated, cook who provided us with a hearty diet in all snacks in the day. In addition, the transport of equipment by mules must be highlighted, allowing us to remain lighter.
I highly recommend Santa Cruz trekking with Scheller who always paid special attention to the preparation and doubts we had.

Unique and impressive experience through our white mountain range - Doing the Santa Cruz Trek with Scheler Trekking Expeditions was a unique and impressive experience in my life.
The tour organization was excellent: friendly guide (Heissen), good food (thanks to Valentin) and impeccable logistical support from the organization.
I recommend this trek to any hiking lover who seeks a deep connection with nature in our beautiful white mountain range, and even the Huayhuash trek that greatly exceeded my expectations.

The best agency in Huaraz - Scheler owner of the agency served me very well from the first contact. Arriving in Huaraz he was already waiting for me and my friends at the bus station to welcome us. He gave us all the support we needed while we were around.
We closed all the tours with his agency.

The Scheler has experienced and very attentive guides. It’s not that easy to do altitude trekking, so if you want a guide who is patient and respects your time, Scheler will introduce you to the best. Besides very solitary are very dear.
At Trekking Santa Cruz all meals were prepared by our guide and Chef Francisco with the help of the guide Nick and Vicente. At dinner we served the entrance, the main dish and dessert. No exaggerations, it was all a delight! In the morning they delivered us a snack to take on the trail and brought our lunch ready.
The camping equipment was of excellent quality, which contributed greatly to the cold nights of the White Cordillera.
For those who do Trekking Santa Cruz earn a night in the Scheler hostel, which by the way is a great accommodation. Super clean, comfortable beds, well organized and with a delicious breakfast.
The Scheler Artizon Trek exceeded all our expectations!
Thank you to the Scheler Artizon Trek team for all your attention, support and affection! You guys are amazing!
Thank you for everything my friends!

Family holidays at the foot of the mountain - So we ventured to spend our family vacation at the foot of the mountains. Santa Cruz Trek offers 4 days of beautiful scenery, surrounded by mountains, snowfall, rivers of crystal clear waters and beautiful lagoons, however you have to be prepared for changes in climate as it can rain or snow. It has been the first camping experience in the mountains for my children and they enjoyed it very much. It is the second time we visited Ancash and there is still much to go and enjoy.
If you plan a family holiday (including children), you like nature and adventure this is an excellent route.
I recommend taking the services of Scheler Artizon Trek. Scheler is very professional as well as all his team, they made our stay in the mountains very comfortable.

See you again soon:) - Let’s say it was an initiation experience into this multi-day hiking thing and I was speechless about the landscapes and places you discover in the middle of nowhere in the white range. The staff was very professional at all times, always attentive to what you may need. We had the opportunity to do the route with Scheler Torres, a certified guide of extensive experience and a new friend to count on for future hikes and expeditions. The route is excellent and friendly. I would like to do it again when the weather is better and make the most of the star show and the views during the day. I'll be back soon. See you in Huayhuash. Thanks for everything!
A plus: Scheler has his own accommodation, Artesonraju Hostel. Appropriate and with all amenities for the nights before and after the hikes.

Trekking in Huaraz - It was 4 days of trekking with indescribable landscapes, I did the trekking Santa Cruz - Llaganuco! Apart from the walks to Laguna Paron, Laguna 69, Pastoruri and Chavin, all sensational. The guides very attentive, good food, beautiful scenery.
