Huayhuash Classic Trek – 8 días
Overview
The complete walk of the Cordillera Huayhuash is the classic route of the region. Making a complete loop around the entire range, it crosses several spectacular passes over 4,600m, two of which are over 5,000m.
Our treks visit the Cutatambo valley, which is located below the “Siula Grande” mountain, the real life setting of the famous Joe Simpson story, “Touching the Void”. Among the many prominent peaks visible on the trek are Rondoy, Ninashanca, Jirishanca, Yerupajá chico, Yerupajá, Cuyoc, Diablo Mudo, Rasac, and Sacra. We also pass through the lakes, Mitucocha, Carhuacocha, Atoqsahyco, Viconga, Jahuacocha, and others. This route is also a great option because it provides the opportunity to experience the great diversity of flora and fauna in the region. The classic Cordillera Huayhuash trek is considered one of the ten best trekking circuits in the world.

It is a great place to shop not too far from New York. We took the bus from Port Authority and traveled through the countryside to get there.
