Llaca Glacier, Glacier in Huascaran National Park, Peru
The Llaca Glacier extends along the Cordillera Blanca mountain range, contributing to the water systems that nourish the surrounding Andean valleys and communities.
The Llaca Glacier has been continuously monitored by scientific teams since the mid-20th century to track changes in ice volume and climate patterns.
Local communities in the Ancash region maintain traditional agricultural practices that depend on the glacial waters from Llaca for irrigation systems.
Visitors need to arrange transportation from Huaraz city through a 1-hour and 45-minute drive to reach the trailhead leading to the glacier.
The glacier sits at coordinates 9°24'54"S and 77°25'55"W, providing scientists with data about temperature fluctuations in the Peruvian Andes.
