The Huayhuash Circuit (12-15 days); is designed for those who want to get to the heart of the Cordillera Huayhuash and undertake some serious hiking.
So then; in addition to the awesome natural scenery; you will experience Peruvian mountain life; encounter local farmhouses and farm animals (cattle, sheep, horses and sometimes alpacas & llamas).
Though the trek is graded 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; however you will need to descend from the passes on foot. The hire of a horse requires an additional cost.
For this Peru adventure the hiking hours mentioned in this 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 / 3090m) 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.
