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?

@Bemytravelmuse 6 лет назад

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?

@Bemytravelmuse 5 лет назад

It snowed on me! Be ready for freezing temps.

Did you use a map or something to stay on track ?

@jeremysmallwood 5 лет назад

you should share a link to your loadout on lighterpack

@marianavalqui8035 4 года назад

Fantastic. What size backpack did you choose? and how much weight?

@Bemytravelmuse 4 года назад

I have a 75L and it was probably around 40 pounds

@OyvindHesjevik 5 лет назад

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 :)

@Bemytravelmuse 5 лет назад

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/

@lbunnygordon1133 5 лет назад

Hi trek looks so beautiful ... what did you do with rest of your luggage?

@Bemytravelmuse 5 лет назад

Just stored it at my BnB in Hauraz. They didn't mind!

@ortegaviacava 5 лет назад

How did you get back to Huaraz city? Grabbed a cab or something like that by chance?

@Bemytravelmuse 5 лет назад

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!

@user-ho3td1co3t 5 лет назад

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...)

@Bemytravelmuse 5 лет назад

They are lululemons! You can check out my Peru packing list here: www.bemytravelmuse.com/peru-packing-list/

@joelaucca9081 6 лет назад
