  • Peruvian Andes Adventures Circuit of the Cordillera
    PERUVIAN ANDES ADVENTURES CIRCUIT OF THE CORDILLERA HUAYHUASH via VICONGA THERMAL BATHS & CUYOC PASS 9 days trekking Grade: Very Hard Highest Point: 5000m The Cordillera Huayhuash Circuit has been nominated in several guidebooks as one of the classic trekking circuits of the world. The Huayhuash is a compact, rugged range of jagged, vertical summits, including the second highest peak in Peru, Yerupajá Grande (6634m), as well as half a dozen other peaks above six thousand metres. Every day on this trek, hikers are treated to awesome views of towering snow capped peaks, glaciers and turquoise-blue trout-filled lakes. There are 8 passes to cross on this spectacular trek, the highest (Cuyoc) at 5000m. Cuyoc Pass 5000m The trek route takes you through Viconga where there are thermal baths where you can enjoy a hot soak Viconga Thermal Baths Note 1: Acclimatisation & Fitness: This is a VERY HARD trek and it is important that you are well acclimatised to the altitude before you depart from Huaraz to start the trek. On the first day when you travel from Huaraz (3070m) to Quartelhuain (4200m) by road you have an altitude gain of 1130m and on the first day trekking you cross a pass of 4700m. We highly recommend three days (four nights) for acclimatisation in Huaraz, doing day hikes progressively gaining altitude to above 4000m to be well acclimatised for this trek. If you start your trek from Quartelhuain at 4200m without sufficient acclimatisation, the risk of becoming unwell with altitude related problems during the first days of the trek is high It is important to have good physical fitness and be able to hike up to 2 hours to the top of a high pass each day during the trek.

  • PERUVIAN ANDES ADVENTURES INCA ROYAL ROAD to HUAYHUASH TREK Timing: 12 Or 13 Days Grading: Moderate Highest Point: 4750M
    PERUVIAN ANDES ADVENTURES INCA ROYAL ROAD TO HUAYHUASH TREK Timing: 12 or 13 days Grading: Moderate Highest Point: 4750m A Journey Combining : Inca History & Engineering – Archaeological Sites – Mountains & Lakes An exhilarating diverse trek route that commences by following an part of an ancient Inca Royal roadway was once the principal highway of the Inca Empire extending from Ecuador in the north to the Inca capital Cuzco in the south of Peru - a distance of some 2500m along the spine of the Andes mountain chain. The first section of the trek follows along part of this route and often we are hiking upon the famous Inca paving with the ancient road still being visible and in places being as wide as 10m. The trek commences with a visit to the ancient pre Inca site of Chavin de Huantar characterized by an extensive labyrinth of underground chambers & tunnels and finishes at the ruins of the Inca citadel of Huánuco Viejo, a major archaeological site which was used as a staging post for the Inca and his court to rest and replenish supplies during expeditions from Cuzco. After a short rest at Huánuco Viejo we move onto the Cordillera Huayhuash mountain range and spend 6 days trekking over high passes with stunning views of the jagged mountain peaks and camping by blue trout filled lakes. Grading: Although we grade the trek as moderate, you do have to cross several mountain passes above 4500m. This implies demanding hiking and consequently both a reasonable level of fitness and adequate acclimatisation to altitude are necessary. Day 01: Huaraz – Chavin – Castillo – Soledad de Tambo We begin the adventure with a road journey in our private transport from Huaraz to the village of Castillo.

    HUAYHUASH TREK PERU ITINERARY This circuit trek takes us to the Peruvian Andes and the Sierra Huayhuash – a range of mountains 30 km long, where six peaks tower above 6000 metres and 29 reach 5000 metres. This includes Yerupaja, the second highest peak in Peru (6634 meters). We trek to the base camp of Siula Grande (6344 meters) made famous through the Joe Simpson and Simon Yates near fatal expedition and subsequent movie “Touching the Void”. This is a challenging trek with huge rewards and magnificent mountain views of Himalayan proportions, fabulous hospitality, culture - and expert, safety conscious guiding by our trusted local partners. The trek crosses 10 passes and covers about 150 kilometres over eleven days. A lot of time is spent at altitudes over 4000 metres, so we take our time to acclimatize, including two nights at the charming “Lazy Dog Inn”, an eco-lodge in the Cordillera Blanca. From here we take two stunning day hikes before heading to the big mountains of the Cordillera Huayhuash. Dan Murphy, co-owner and guide for Active Earth Adventures, will be joining this trek.

  • Peruvian Andes Adventures Circuit of the Cordillera
    PERUVIAN ANDES ADVENTURES CIRCUIT OF THE CORDILLERA HUAYHUASH with Optional Climbing 15 days trekking Grade: Hard Highest points: Trekking – Cuyoc Pass at 5000m Climbing – Diablo Mudo at 5229m THE CLIMB: Diablo Mudo 5229m Grade: Medium to Hard, non technical The Cordillera Huayhuash Circuit has been nominated in several guidebooks as one of the classic trekking circuits of the world. The Huayhuash is a compact, rugged range of jagged, vertical summits, including the second highest peak in Peru, Yerupajá Grande (6634m), as well as half a dozen other peaks above six thousand metres. Every day on this trek, hikers are treated to awesome views of towering snow capped peaks, glaciers and turquoise-blue trout-filled lakes. There are 8 passes to cross on this spectacular trek, the highest (Cuyoc) at 5000m. Our 15 day trek features a visit to the Base Camp of Siula Grande, made famous by the epic Joe Simpson book and film “Touching The Void”. Lilian from the UK said about the 15 day trek: “It was completely spectacularly superb!” Important Note: In June 2009 the Huayhuash Community of Huayllapa closed access for trekkers to the Calinca Valley and Cutatambo. This is where the Siula Grande Base Camp is located. The community did this to protect the grazing for their cattle which are in the Calinca Valley. The trip to Siula Grande Base Camp has become so popular with trekkers that the number of trekking donkeys in the valley are decimating the grazing and causing damage to the fragile environment there. It is important that all trekking agencies respect the wishes of the local communities, as the whole of the Huayhuash Circuit is over private community-owned land.

  • Proyecto Huayahuash Equipo Español De Alpinismo
    2010 Proyecto Huayhuash EQUIPO ESPAÑOL DE ALPINISMO PROYECTO HUAYAHUASH EQUIPO ESPAÑOL DE ALPINISMO LA CORDILLERA HUAYHUASH La cordillera Huayhuash es uno de los escenarios montañosos más impactantes de Sudamérica y contiene algunos de los picos más espectaculares y más difíciles de los Andes. Huayhuash es una remota cordillera a 10 grados de latitud sur en Perú central. Es más pequeña y más compacta que su vecina Cordillera Blanca pero también más técnica y más alejada de pueblos y carreteras. En la cordillera existen seis picos por encima de los seis mil metros y más de treinta superan los 5200. Esbeltas pirámides de hielo y roca se levantan sobre valles de pastos salpicados de lagunas glaciares donde viven unos pocos pastores con sus rebaños. Durante finales de los años ochenta y principios de los noventa la cordillera estuvo cerrada al turismo ya que la guerrilla Sendero Luminoso se escondía en estas quebradas. Es por esto que en la zona, hoy normalizada al tránsito turístico, existen todavía gran cantidad de paredes vírgenes y muchas posibilidades para escalar nuevos itinerarios. Equipo Español de Alpinismo Enero 2010 Página 2 PROYECTO HUAYAHUASH EQUIPO ESPAÑOL DE ALPINISMO OBJETIVOS El Equipo Español de Alpinismo de la FEDME se enfrenta en esta promoción a su primer viaje a las grandes montañas. El año pasado comprobaron la dureza de la logística y las condiciones de la escalada desértica escalando en un país remoto como Jordania y este año le añaden a las montañas 5000 metros de altura e inmensos glaciares como parte de su proceso de tecnificación que acabará el año próximo en el Himalaya.

  • Taken from Mountaineering in the Andes by Jill Neate Peru RGS-IBG Expedition Advisory Centre, 2Nd Edition, May 1994
    Taken from Mountaineering in the Andes by Jill Neate Peru RGS-IBG Expedition Advisory Centre, 2nd edition, May 1994 PERU The Andes of Peru form one of the world’s great mountain playgrounds, visited by many hundreds of climbers from all around the world during the past sixty years. They are very extensive, comprising twenty or more separately identifiable ranges, and are thought by many to offer a very good alternative to climbing in the Himalaya. The finest are the Cordilleras Blanca, Huayhuash, Vilcabamba and Vilcanota. Roughly speaking, north of the central Peruvian mining town of Cerro de Pasco the Peruvian Andes are made up of three parallel cordilleras (Occidental, Central and Oriental), separated by the Marañon and Huallaga rivers. The Blanca and Huayhuash ranges are situated in the Cordillera Occidental which is the only one of significance to mountaineers in this sector of Peru. South of Cerro de Pasco the Andes continue as two distinct cordilleras, the Occidental near the Pacific coast, and the Oriental on the fringe of the Amazon jungle. They are separated by an elevated and arid plateau, broken up by various depressions, the largest of which contains Lake Titicaca astride the Peru-Bolivia border. In southern Peru the finest peaks are situated, almost without exception, in the Cordillera Oriental, principally in the Vilcabamba-Urubamba and Vilcanota ranges.

    Peru - Huayhuash Circuit Trekking Tour 2021 Guided Tour 17 Days / 16 Nights The Huayhuash circuit is among the best treks in the world and it is a well-deserved title. Located in the Peruvian Andes, close the Cordillera Blanca, the Huayhuash range has some of the most dramatic peaks in the Andes like: Siula Grande (Dramatised in the film “Touching the Void”), Carnicero, Jirishanca and Yurupaja (second highest mountain in Peru) just to name a few. The semi-circular itinerary goes over several mountain passes, one of them above 5000 meters and most above 4500 meters. This is a high altitude trek, quite remote, physically demanding and long distances to be covered, but worth every step of the way.
