Why it matters to eat well after the trek
The hike to Laguna 69 climbs above 4,600 meters above sea level and demands a serious physical effort. Along the way the body burns through energy, fluids and minerals. On the way back it's best to eat foods that provide protein for muscle recovery, carbohydrates to restore energy, proper hydration, warm drinks and fresh food prepared on the spot.
Eating well helps you recover faster and keep enjoying Huaraz over the following days.
