Join me in this 12 days alpine trekking trip to the Huayhuash range, in the Peruvian Andes, in a challenging 100 km circuit in a region considered by many to offer some of the best trekking in South America.
The Cordillera Huayhuash is a region that attracted worldwide attention following Joe Simpson’s graphic account of his ascent of Siula Grande in his book ‘Touching the Void’. This full circuit trek is the best way to fully appreciate the sheer scale of these snowcapped summits including Yerupaja, the second highest mountain in Peru.
Our trip includes ample time for acclimatization in the Cordillera Blanca and Huaraz before spending 09 days crossing high passes all in over of 5000m. Each day provides an ever-changing backdrop of soaring peaks including the distinctive needle like the peak of Jirishanca and the impressive summit of Yerupaja at 6640m. At night we camp in tranquil locations alongside glacial lakes or alpine meadows in this unrivaled corner of the Andes.
