INTRODUCTION
Usually the hike around the
cordillera huayhuash begins
in the city of chiquian (3400
mals), 111 km south of huaraz.
This little known route is
one of the most beautiful
and impressive. The trek takes
approximately 2 weeks and
winds through such spectacular
mountains as Yerupaja (6634
meters), the second highest
in the Peruvian andes, Jirishanca,
Siula Grande, Rondoy, Ninashanca
and Rasac. This trail passes
incomparably breath? taking
lakes of crystalline water
and tiny villages seemingly
out of touch with the rest
of the world.
