Vallejo / PROMPERÚ Trekking trails in Áncash Áncash Capital: Huaraz Temperature Max.: 27 ºC Min.: 7 ºC Highest elevation Max.: 3090 meters Three ideal trekking trails: 1. HUAYHUASH MOUNTAIN RANGE RESERVED AREA Circuit: The Huayhuash Mountain Range 2. HUASCARÁN NATIONAL PARK SOUTH AND HUARAZ Circuit: Olleros-Chavín Circuit: Day treks from Huaraz Circuit: Quillcayhuanca-Cójup 3. HUASCARÁN NATIONAL PARK NORTH Circuit: Llanganuco-Santa Cruz Circuit: Los Cedros-Alpamayo HUAYHUASH MOUNTAIN RANGE RESERVED AREA Circuit: Huayhuash Mountain Range (2-12 days) 45 km from Chiquián to Llámac to the start of the trek (1 hr. 45 min. by car). This trail is regarded one of the most spectacular in the world. It is very popular among mountaineering enthusiasts, since six of its many summits exceed 6000 meters in elevation. Mount Yerupajá (6634 meters) is one such example: it is the country’s second highest peak. Several trails which vary in length between 45 and 180 kilometers are available, with hiking times from as few as two days to as many as twelve. The options include: • Circle the mountain range: (Llámac-Pocpa-Queropalca Quishuarcancha-Túpac Amaru-Uramaza-Huayllapa-Pacllón): 180 km (10-12 days). • Llámac-Jahuacocha: 28 km (2-3 days). Most hikers begin in Llámac or Matacancha. Diverse landscapes of singular beauty are clearly visible along the treks: dozens of rivers; a great variety of flora and fauna; turquoise colored lagoons, such as Jahuacocha, Mitucocha, Carhuacocha, and Viconga, and; the spectacular snow caps of Rondoy (5870 m), Jirishanca (6094 m), Siulá (6344 m), and Diablo Mudo (5223 m).

  • Unintended Effects of Technology on Climate Change Adaptation: an Historical Analysis of Water Conflicts Below Andean Glaciers
    Journal of Historical Geography xxx (2012) 1e11 Contents lists available at SciVerse ScienceDirect Journal of Historical Geography journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/jhg Unintended effects of technology on climate change adaptation: an historical analysis of water conflicts below Andean Glaciers Mark Carey a,*, Adam French b and Elliott O’Brien c a Robert D. Clark Honors College, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403, USA b Department of Environmental Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz, CA 95064, USA c Department of Politics, Washington and Lee University, Lexington, VA 24450, USA Abstract Climate change adaptation measures can generate long-term unintended consequences, as this paper demonstrates through an empirical case study of water conflicts at Lake Parón in Peru’s Cordillera Blanca mountain range. This decade-long struggle culminated in 2008 when a coalition of local groups (stakeholders) from the Cruz de Mayo and Caraz communities in the Callejón de Huaylas seized control of the Lake Parón reservoir from a private multinational corporation, Duke Energy. This clash over Parón’s water in the Llullán and Santa River watersheds emerged much earlier than climatic- hydrologic models had predicted, and it occurred, this paper argues, largely because of previously successful climate adaptation measures. The drainage tunnel and floodgates originally installed at Parón in the 1980s to prevent a climate-related outburst flood led to unintended or perverse outcomes because these technological artifacts subsequently allowed a diversity of stakeholdersdincluding rural subsistence farmers, urban residents, national park officials, tourism promoters, the state energy company Electroperú, and Duke Energydto manage water differently depending on their priorities and the existing governance structures.

  • Perceptions of and Adaptation to Climate Change in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru
    FIGUEIREDO et al. Perceptions of and adaptation to climate change DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14393/SN-v31-2019-45623 Perceptions of and adaptation to climate change in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru Anderson R. De Figueiredo1 Jefferson C. Simões1 Rualdo Menegat2 Sarah Strauss3 Bruna B. Rodrigues2 Abstract Climate change and glacial disasters directly affect the Andean periglacial populations in the environmental, social, economic and cultural spheres. Regional atmospheric warming is causing an increasing retreat of glaciers in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru. The melting of these glaciers causes, among other consequences, the formation of new glacial lagoons and an increase in volume of the pre-existing lagoons; both phenomena increase the possibility of glacial disasters. Thus, this paper reports an investigation of perceptions and adaptations to climatic change and glacial disasters in the Cordillera Blanca, Department of Ancash, Peru, through the ethnographic method with the campesino communities of Vicos and Humacchuco; this method included observations and semi-structured interviews with managers and campesinos. The measures adopted by the managers are, predominantly, engineering to reduce disasters, such as increasing of dike sizes and lagoon drainages. The retreat of the glaciers, as noted by the campesino communities themselves, is the main perception of the impacts of climate change. We suggest that the choice of safe places to live in campesino communities is the main strategy of adaptation and is related to an ancestral ethnoknowledge. The reterritorialization of sites susceptible to glacial disasters is not only due to the need to have a place (to plant, to live), but is also due to the topophilic feelings formed by the affective link between a person and a place.

  • Ordenamiento Y Demarcación Territorial Como Instrumento De Planificación Para El Desarrollo Sostenible De La Región Ancash
    geografía Ordenamiento y demarcación territorial como instrumento de planificación para el desarrollo sostenible de la región Ancash Arrangement and territorial demarcation as planning instrument to the sustainable development of the Ancash region Recibido: 16/02/2009 Fray Masías Cruz Reyes Aprobado: 30/03/2009 Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos [email protected] RESUMEN El departamento de Ancash al igual que otros departamentos del país, históricamente ha sido ocupado con fines de poblamiento y aprovechamiento de sus distintos recursos naturales en forma espontánea y obedeciendo a coyunturas políticas, sociales y económicas nacionales e internacionales; que ha generado como consecuencia desequilibrios territoriales a favor de la franja costanera y del Callejón de Huaylas, en detrimento del área andina y del valle del Marañón. Lo anterior sirve como marco de referencia para hacer un diagnóstico geográfico- político-administrativo-socioeconómico-poblacional, que confirma que la demarcación política de los distintos distritos y provincias de este departamento se encuentran indefinidos e impre- cisos en algunos casos, lo que condiciona y dificulta una buena gestión, generando problemas territoriales; en donde el ordenamiento territorial como instrumento de planificación ayuda a corregir estos desequilibrios y fomenta la integración en base a las condiciones geográficas, histórico-socioeconómico-culturales de los pueblos. PALABRAS CLAVE: Integración territorial, organización y ordenamiento territorial, descentrali- zación, desarrollo sostenible, demarcación. ABSTRACT The department of Ancash, like others departments in the country, trough history has been occupied with purposes of settlement and exploitation of its natural resources spontaneously and according to political, social, and economic national and international situation generat- ing as consequences territorial imbalances resulting in favor of coastal strip and Callejon de Huaylas, to expenses the Andean region and the Marañon valley.
