In this video, we climb to the highest elevation that we have ever been, and spend the night in one of the most incredible mountain huts in the world - Refugio Peru. Nestled among 10 snow-capped peaks, we were to surprised to find that it had a full restaurant, heaters and even HOT SHOWERS!

About this hike:
The Laguna 69 hike is typically done as a 24km/15mi there-and-back day hike. We chose to do the 2D/1N route solo and spend a night at Refugio Peru. This route let's you get to Laguna 69 much earlier than the main tours and you can have the place to yourself for a few hours. You also have the added benefit of seeing Laguna 69 from above, a view that few of the day-hikers get to experience.
- Total distance: 16.5km / 10.2mi
- Elevation gain: 1,160m / 3,812ft
- Max altitude: 4877m / 16,000ft
