Discover the pristine Peruvian mountainside on a 13-day Huayhuash trek on the Cuyoc Pass and Cutatambo with IFMGA-qualified guide Juventino.
Trek among the mountains of Huayhuash.
Discover Peru's breathtaking terrain.
Benefit from having a fully-qualified guide leading the way.
Majestic mountains and stunning scenery cloak the Peruvian landscape, with every day of trekking offering a fresh experience.
The Huayhuash trek involves a giant circular route of 120 kilometers within the Cordillera Huayhuash mountain range.
Stretching across the Peruvian regions of Ancash, Lima and Huánuco, it features a collection of peaks that extend beyond 6,000 meters.
It is the second highest tropical mountain range in the world following the Cordillera Blanca. Running from north to south, it contains approximately 20 summits within 25 kilometers.
The highest peak that we will see is Yerupajá, which stands at 6,635 meters and is the second-highest summit in the country.
This trek is less crowded and more challenging than other trekking trails of the Cordillera Blanca, which means that we will explore a remoter and sparser part of the Andes where few adventurers hike.
Discover impressive rock formations that rise dramatically to the sky, along with snow-covered summits, wide glaciers, and tranquil blue lakes.
Highlights on the trek include the Cuyoc Pass, the highest, and contains incredible views between the mountains of Cuyoc and Pumarinri.
The valley of Cutatambo is another highlight and offers nice views of the Siula Grande, the infamous mountain that was at the core of the book Touching the Void.
Get in touch now to reserve your place in the mountains of Peru for a 13-day trek and discover places including Cuyoc and Cutatambo.

There were bad conditions for the first mountain we wanted to climb, so we had to search for other mountain, which was possible to climb with the bad conditions. NO PROBLEM for Eric and his team. Eric made within 1 day another program for the following 2 weeks. I really want to say \"thank you for this expedition\". I enjoyed the whole trip/expedition, because of his professional competence. Hope we see us soon!

Eric and Juventino are family and they treat each one of their clients as family. It\'s truly a fun time being out in the mountains with them! I did with them many tours throughout Cordillera Blanca, Including Pisco, Chopicalqui and all of the lakes.

I can warmly recommend Eric and his company Peru Expeditions Tours. Eric and his team are very professional. They speak fluent English and Eric speaks German. They answered very quickly to questions before the trip. Eric helped me to organize an excursion to the high camp of Alpamayo. He also helped me to rent the right equipment. I also enjoyed ten fantastic days trekking Cordillera Huayhuash and climbing Nevado Pumarinri (5465 m) and Nevado Diablo Mudo (5350 m) with Eric and his team. The organization and the equipment (tents etc.) of the trekking were perfect and the team surprised me with a birthday cake at the Cashpapampau Camp (at 4500 meters) and they also prepared delicious vegetarian food for me on the hike. After Huayhuash we climbed Mount Tocllaraju (6034 HM), organized by Eric and Peru Expeditions Tours. All the guides who work for Eric are local people with a lot of experience and education in the mountains, they speak perfect English and try to do everything to make the clients happy! Thanks to Peru Expeditions Tours I really enjoyed the time in the mountains around Huaraz. I am looking forward to more treks and climbing with you in the future!

The hike was canceled. We didn’t go anywhere. Didn’t even get into the country.
