After hiking the famous Laguna 69, a hike that goes up to 4600 meters in elevation, I tackled the 4-day Santa Cruz trek in Huascaran National Park outside of Huaraz, Peru.
The majority of the hike takes place over 4000 meters, and I decided to do it independently and solo for the benefit of the personal challenge. Could I handle hiking at altitude with weight on? Would it be crazy to do it solo?
I started my adventure in the scariest collectivo ride ever, then began a journey through beautiful valleys, mountains, peaks, and lagoons in Peru's incredible Cordillera Blanca mountains.
Along the way I met some interesting people (and animals!) and saw some beautiful mountains. A few mishaps occurred but overall I learned that I CAN DO THIS!
This video will help to show you what the hike is like, and even if you don't plan to do it yourself, I'm sure there will be aspects that you can relate to!

Great video thank you. Congratulations on a great hike!. (pro tip. wear your tent rainfly over your back pack for the first couple of hours to dry it out... ounces ounces). I am so impressed with you.

I'd love to see a post about how you prepare for these hikes! What sort of training do you do?
That's a good idea! I don't train specifically for hiking, but I go for pole dancing classes regularly, which help a lot. I have a post on how to stay healthy on the road on my blog, check it out: www.bemytravelmuse.com/how-to-stay-healthy-on-the-road/

This video gave me the confidence to hike as a woman on my own in Peru too, thanks for that! I was wondering what temperature it got during the nights?
It snowed on me! Be ready for freezing temps.
Love it!! What camera did you use?

what place of Peru has snow?
Oh lots. Much of Peru's mountains are really high in elevation
Awesome experience, thanks for sharing. Which month did you do this trek?
Thank you! This was in early May.
Did you use a map or something to stay on track ?
you should share a link to
your loadout on lighterpack
Fantastic. What size backpack did you choose? and how much weight?
I have a 75L and it was probably around 40 pounds
lovely video! i was thinking of doing this in a few months on a peru trip. thing is that i prefer packing the minimum amount of equipment. what is it that you absolutely need for a hike like this i terms of warm clothing and hiking equipment? is it better to just rent on location? im a bit worried about hiking books considering my large eurofeets. rock on and keep posting :)
I brought my own gear except for the cooking equipment and tent. I wish I brought my own tent! The one I rented was a leaky one, unfortunately. My packing list is on the blog: www.bemytravelmuse.com/santa-cruz-trek/
Great video. What month did you do this ?
April Wrote a blog post with more details and tips about it: www.bemytravelmuse.com/santa-cruz-trek/
Love your personality! Which month did you hike?
Thank you! This was in May
What month were you on this trek?

Hi trek looks so beautiful ... what did you do with rest of your luggage?
Just stored it at my BnB in Hauraz. They didn't mind!
How did you get back to Huaraz city? Grabbed a cab or something like that by chance?
There's a collectivo at the end of the hike that you can join. There were like 8 of us in one tiny sedan at one point but hey, got back down!
hi! i'm going in 2 weeks! thank you for this video, it eases my nerves a lot hahaha. and i'm really curious about those black tight pants you were wearing (lol), are those just regular workout pants? or is there anything special about them? (for some reason i'm reluctant to wear hiking pants, i feel like they're heavy or too warming...)
They are lululemons! You can check out my Peru packing list here: www.bemytravelmuse.com/peru-packing-list/
Hello! Your video is amazing. I would like to try the trek for my own but I don't know for where I could begin. Could you give me information about the places, routes or where I could find information?
I blogged about it here: www.bemytravelmuse.com/santa-cruz-trek/
Yes check out my post! www.bemytravelmuse.com/santa-cruz-trek/
