The Huayhuash eight-day trek is an expedition especially designed for trekkers; who do not have sufficient time to complete the Huayhuash Circuit (12-15 days). Thus; they still want to get to the heart of the Cordillera Huayhuash and undertake some serious hiking.
In addition to the awesome natural scenery; you’ll experience Peruvian mountain life and see local farmhouses and farm animals (cattle, sheep, horses and sometimes alpacas & llamas).
Although we grade the trek as moderate; you do have to cross four passes above 14,763 ft / 4500 m. This requires a reasonable level of fitness and adequate acclimatization. You do have the option of taking a horse for part of the journey; but you would need to descend from the passes on foot. The hire of a horse requires an additional cost.
On this Peru adventure; the hiking hours mentioned in the article are estimated times; including rest breaks and lunch stop. Distances mentioned are also estimated. Prior to the start of the trek; you’ll stay in Huaraz (elevation: 10,137 ft / 3090 m) for two full days to do short hikes for acclimatization purposes. The trek is approximately 40 miles (65 km) in total – distances mentioned here are estimates.
