Santa Cruz trek is the most popular hike in the with mountain range. And for good reason!
Pristine meadows, plentiful wild flowers, red quenua trees, turquoise lakes, white glaciers. It is gorgeous.
You get a good long look at Punta Union pass as you ascend the pretty Quebrada Santa Cruz. It is important you be acclimatized before attempting Santa Cruz. On the other hand, if you are hit with altitude sickness it is easy to descend. |
