Alternative Huayhuash Trek to the Cuyoc Pass & Cutatambo, from Huaraz (13 days)

Majestic mountains and stunning scenery cloak the Peruvian landscape, with every day of trekking offering a fresh experience.

The Huayhuash trek involves a giant circular route of 120 kilometers within the Cordillera Huayhuash mountain range.

Stretching across the Peruvian regions of Ancash, Lima and Huánuco, it features a collection of peaks that extend beyond 6,000 meters.

It is the second highest tropical mountain range in the world following the Cordillera Blanca. Running from north to south, it contains approximately 20 summits within 25 kilometers.

The highest peak that we will see is Yerupajá, which stands at 6,635 meters and is the second-highest summit in the country.

This trek is less crowded and more challenging than other trekking trails of the Cordillera Blanca, which means that we will explore a remoter and sparser part of the Andes where few adventurers hike.

Discover impressive rock formations that rise dramatically to the sky, along with snow-covered summits, wide glaciers, and tranquil blue lakes.

Highlights on the trek include the Cuyoc Pass, the highest, and contains incredible views between the mountains of Cuyoc and Pumarinri.

The valley of Cutatambo is another highlight and offers nice views of the Siula Grande, the infamous mountain that was at the core of the book Touching the Void.
