Pisco and Yanapaccha
Overview
Snowy Pisco 5752 m / 18,871 ft. It is located in the Cordillera Blanca and is part of a mountain range called Macizo de Huandoy. It is located in the central part of the Cordillera Blanca, in the province of Yunghay. It became a popular mountain due to its spectacular views and easy access. The normal western route is ideal for acclimatization and many mountaineers use it as the end of their hike or as a start to acclimatize before climbing more technically challenging mountains. Nevado Yanapaccha 5460 m / 17,913 ft. It is located in the Central Andes of South America, in the Cordillera Blanca and the HuascarƔn National Park. This mountain can be climbed throughout the year, and it is a good place to take climbing and rescue courses due to the number of cracks and climbing walls. Its name comes from Yana, which means black, and Paccha, which means waterfall. Its full name would mean Waterfall on a black mountain.
