The trek around the Huayhuash is one of the most spectacular mountain circuits in the world. It is a trek for the true walking enthusiast, its considerable physical demands rewarded with a mountain splendor which can have few equals. Although a small range, the Huayhuash is richly glaciated, steep and dramatic, as well as being home to Perus second highest peak, Yerupaja, at 6634, offering you stunning panoramas of glaciers, lakes and mighty ice-clad mountains.
