Overview

The Remarkably And Titanic Cordillera Huayhuash Trekking: There’s nothing entirely like the hiking challenge introduced by the Cordillera Blanca – are you willing to rise above it? this trek in the Cordillera Huayhuash Valley is one that gives people a distinct angle on the valleys and peaks of the Andes. Peru’s Cordillera Huayhuash is a mountain-climber’s dream come true. Located in one of the most isolated sections of the Andes, the range asks a lot from those who trek it. It has been called “the best alpine trek in the world”. Fabled for being the source of the mighty Amazon and having peaks that soar snow-fluted above 6,600m, the Huayhuash is a compact range of 20 main mountains knotted together by blue glacier ice: a place of visual magnificence. A journey around the entire range has more than 100 miles of hard, exhilarating walking, where thin-air passes link jagged mountains, azure lakes and vast skies. There are no less than 8 passes to cross, which ranges to 17,060 feet–Cordillera Huayhuash Loop Trekking 10 days..
