Circuit Huayhuash Trekking 14 days


The Cordillera Huayhuash is often said to be the most beautiful part of the Peruvian Andes. It’s a land of high grassy valleys, clear mountain lakes, tumbled glaciers and snow-shrouded peaks – all overarched by an impossibly deep-blue sky, where condors soar. The Huayhuash is a landscape of awe-inspiring height and scale, with six peaks over 6000m – including Yerupaja (6617m) the second highest mountain in Peru – and several passes over 5000m. Our route is a challenging 14 day, 170km circuit that leads us right around the range. There’s also a chance to sample a traditional Peruvian Pacchamanca feast, and to fish the area’s abundant trout for a delicious mountain dinner.
