PN Huascaran | Informal Campsite

May 2nd, 2019 by blancaetmarc

Viajamos con una moto desde La Oaz - Bolivia y me siento molesta porque según el ministerio de turismo (a través de sus funcionarios) los peruanos y lugareños pueden usar la carretera y pasar a Yanama (pueblo al otro lado), por ser extranjeros no te dejan pasar si es que no pagas S/30; al final esa carretera está en pésima condición (tierra con huecos) y es privada.
Es caro para quienes solo queremos pasar al otro lado 😯.
Al final volvimos para Carhuaz y ver otra ruta.

Entered at 5:15am. No charge, thought we'd be charged on the way out as we left at 3pm and there's a ranger at that time but he just let us through with a smile! Bargain! 30 sol pp is a rip off also another ranger told us at the cerveceria the previous night that less than half the money actually goes to the park, so you are just funding gvt corruption with this extortionate fee.

I think that the rangers go out arround 4 pm and restart arround 6 am, so the gate is open ...

It's a beautiful hike up to laguna 69, well maintained path and we didn't see any trash along the way like you unfortunately do everywhere else in Peru. We think it's well worth it and fair to pay 30 soles entrance to support a poor country like Peru to protect their national park. How can people in this forum honestly call Peruvians racists because local people get to enter their own country for free while rich foreigners are asked to pay a contribution???

Entry for one day for stranger is 30 sol. In park are three viewpoints and two campsides. You can go there with your van, yo do not need 4WD, but when is rainy 4WD is better because of mudd.
Lakes are nice, but with entry 30 sol is much.

Now the entrance is 30 soles, since 1st of January 2018 ! what a rip-off... And for camping inside the park it's 60 more... They have toilets here at the entrance and after paying your ticket they claim also money for using the toilets!! unbelievable....

We arrived at 4:30 and the gate was manned by a ranger. Probably 15 taxis waiting at the gate when we arrived. Dont expect free entrance to the park. We didn't feel comfortable parking here overnight so chose the switchback spot 100m down the road also on iOverlander.

Parking à l'entrée du parc, gratuit. Wc tranquille et sur.

Local people pay nothing! Just seen the van which drove through the gate without paying. Only white tourists pay. Rasists!!

We arrived in the late afternoon and were allowed to camp near the visitor center for free. Restrooms and a sink for dishwashing available.

It's OK. Cholas offer some tropical foods and drinks.

- free
- camped by the gate to the park
- toilet available
- park is "closed" between 3:30pm and 7am, which means the gate is left open and nobody is there to collect the fee

There is a small parking lot in front of the visitor center. Very little traffic at night. Basic toilet at the Visitor Center.
