It’s an honor for me to invite you to this 14-day classic Huayhuash trek. It is a famous Peruvian mountain range with high summits and amazing landscapes.
This classic Huayhuash trek will lead you through impressive mountains, deep blue lakes and stunning glaciers. Besides, you will have the opportunity to visit local Andean villages and learn a lot about their culture.
During these 14 days we will not only hike across the Huayhuash mountain range but also visit the highlights of the Cordillera Blanca. This is the most extensive snowy tropical mountain range and has about 700 glaciers.
Some of the most outstanding places we’ll visit are the Alpamayo base camp as well as the Portachuelo and Yanayacu passes.
So, if you want to join me please keep in mind it is a moderate-difficult trek. That’s why you must have a perfect fitness level since we’ll walk several hours per day.
If you are planning to come to the Peruvian Andes you cannot miss this program. Contact me now for more details. Let’s conquer the Huayhuash range together!

If bad weather or unsuitable conditions force the guide to cancel the trip, he or she will: a) propose a similar activity at a different place where conditions are better, or b) propose to postpone the activity until a later date, or c) cancel. If you refuse option a), our cancellation policy will apply. Please note, however, that the call to cancel a trip due to bad weather can only be made by the guide (not the client).
