Huascaran National Park consolidated its position as one of the country's most visited natural destinations during the Holy Week long holiday, recording 11,587 visits across its main tourist circuits, with a marked preference for high-mountain landscapes and the adventure experiences offered by the Cordillera Blanca.
The Llanganuco circuit led visitor traffic by a wide margin, with 8,080 visitors, confirming its status as the main tourist draw within the protected natural area.
Its emblematic turquoise lakes, surrounded by queñual forests and majestic snow-capped peaks, turn this setting into a living postcard of Ancash region.
In the area, visitors enjoy hiking, boat rides on Lake Chinancocha, and photographic tours in one of the country's most striking landscapes.
The second most visited destination was Ulta, which received 2,689 tourists drawn by its spectacular trekking routes, natural viewpoints, and privileged views of the Cordillera Blanca's snow-capped peaks.
This sector stands out for offering a direct connection with the mountains, making it ideal for hikers and nature tourism enthusiasts.
Other areas of Huascaran National Park drew significant visitor numbers, including Quillcayhuanca (350 visits), Purhuay (324), and Llaca (144), reflecting growing interest in alternative routes that combine lakes, valleys, and high-mountain trails.
During the operation, authorities verified the accreditation of official guides, the operation of tourism agencies and services, and compliance with safety regulations for domestic and international visitors, reinforcing responsible tourism in one of Peru's most emblematic natural treasures.
Tourist flow during Holy Week reaffirms Huascaran National Park as one of the country's main drivers of domestic tourism, supported by its offering of unique landscapes, adventure sports, and experiential activities linked to local communities.
