Lakeshore campsite at about 4,140 m facing Yerupajá and Jirishanca, one of the most famous camps in the Andes and a common rest-day spot. This part is Queropalca land (fee paid at Mitucocha); bring warm clothes, as nights are well below freezing.
Quishuarcancha
Second campsite on the south-east shore of Carhuacocha, about 300 m from the first, run by the Quisuarcancha community (S/30 in 2026). Groups usually camp on whichever side has space.
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "not confirmed by the operator" are listed on OpenStreetMap or in guides but could not be checked on an official page. The campsites on the Huayhuash Circuit belong to the local communities: flat grass by a stream or lake, usually with a simple toilet, and a community member who collects the fee in the evening. Nights are below freezing above 4,000 m; treat all water, as cattle graze everywhere, and carry out your rubbish.
The Huayhuash Circuit route works offline in Outest, with these places on the map and a trail guide you can ask about water, weather and the next village.
