TREKKING

THE REAL TREKKERS CHALLENGE"CORDILLERA HUAYHUASH (PERU)".

Located south east of Huaraz, considered one of the most impressive and savage cordilleras of the world; it will make you feel the real sense of Adventure. Average daily trekking time is 6 hours. Altitudes between 3.300 and 5.000 m.a.s.l. Crossing over seven high altitude passes. During these incredible 13 days you will observe several of the high peaks and mountains that shape this Cordillera and also some of the dangerous walls that are worldwide known because of their difficult ascent. For instance the Siula grande west-face (6.300 mts), Jirishanca (6.100 mts), Rondoy (5.900 mts) and Yerupaja (6.600 mts), the second highest mountain of Peru and one of the most difficult to climb. Every year many climbers and trekkers need to be rescued from this cordillera.
