Huaraz
Huaraz, the ultimate base camp for the Cordillera Blanca and Huayhuash mountain ranges, the world's premiere destinations for climbing, mountain biking and astoundingly beautiful treks.
This provincial capital is a mountaineering Mecca, located beside the Cordillera Blanca, a majestic mountain range of serrated summits running along an ice-clad ridge, known as the Andean Alps. The town offers a variety of charming restaurants and cafes, and the surrounding countryside offers dozens of trekking and biking routes through mountain wilderness, under looming glaciers and past translucent turquoise-blue lakes. |
