Description

The 8-day Cordillera Huayhuash Trek is the complete route but in fewer days than normal, since we will not reach the Viconga thermal baths. There are 8 high passes to cross, the highest being the Trapezium Pass at 5020 meters. The number of nights spent sleeping above 4000 meters and the number of high passes that must be crossed each day qualify this adventure hike as difficult. We recommend that you have a good level of physical fitness and be well acclimatized before committing to this incredible adventure of the full tour to Huayhuash.
