PERU: The Cordillera Huayhuash Photo Trek – 13 days

In this world there are a few places that stand head and shoulders above others – even with the outstanding choices people already know about in other ranges across the world..

The Cordillera Huayhuash in Central Peru (just south of the Cordillera Blanca) is one of those places that will leave you breathless, not only due to the altitude but because the scenery is so grand, so imposing, so…unbelieveable.

If the Lord of the Rings wasn’t filmed in New Zealand (which it rightly deserves), it could have been filmed here. Every day on the trek is another example of nature’s power to create beauty with a rugged exterior and alluring features. The peaks are tall, they are steep, they are covered with a layer of frosting made of hanging glaciers and the alpine lakes at their feet are a rainbow of complimentary puddles of color. Just amazing.

Difficulty: Easy to moderate due to the altitude

Duration: 13 days

Highlights: cordillera Huayhuash, green alpine lakes, hanging glaciers, Indigenous Quechua people, Andes, Peru

Guest Testimonials...

Dear Sergio, The whole thing was GREAT! The best were certainly Jose, Xavier and Arles. They made a great team and our group appreciated them tremendously. The weather actually was perfect since it was gorgeous when it mattered and the little rain we got simply added a little spice to the proceedings. So, congratulations to your organization.

Hola Sergio, I just wanted to second everything Mike wrote to you. Our trip was fabulous, couldn't have enjoyed it more! The warm-up of sea kayaking was terrific and the trek was all we had hoped for. Even the long drives were interesting...As Mike said, you can use me for recommendations. Thanks for everything!

Sergio, We just viewed a bit of our movies - the Salar de Uyuni, Isla Pescado and the sunset - MUCH FUN! An excellent trip - I'd love to return to see more and do more - a very unique country with tremendous opportunity! Hope to talk to you soon!

Sergio: THANK YOU! for such a great trip across the Altiplano and beyond. It was everything we had hoped for and I can't think of a thing we missed, other than perhaps temperatures that were a wee bit warmer...we got a lot of laughs out of it and great stories to tell "we only travel to Hawaii" co-workers. Roberto was a delightful guide full of insight and funny jokes. He was endlessly patient, particularly of my slow learning of Spanish. Of all the places we were and everything we did, I like Bolivia the best. It's a very seductive country...astoundingly raw and wild scenery with friendly and honest people. Who knows, but I'll definitely be back...it was a great adventure!

Sergio, Stephen and I just wanted to thank you so much for all your help in planning our trip to Bolivia. We had a fabulous time! The highlight of our trip was Chalalan Lodge. What a magical place. Alejandro was our guide who added a lot to our overall experience. We loved the rainforest, the food was wonderful, canoeing on the lake was great. La Paz was such an interesting city. Hotel Oberland was very charming and your friend Walter was a terrific host. All the flights and connections worked out perfectly and we were actually able to fit in that side trip to Peru to see Cusco and Machu Picchu.

Hola Sergio! It's been a wild ride...and Bolivia is the kind of place that keeps me excited. It may be raw around the edges but that makes it even better for the adventures I was looking for. The trekking and climbing were as good as any I've had in the Andes... there were no crowds! Your team of drivers, guides, cooks and porters were so nice and incredibly helpful and I can't thank them enough for all the help! The hidden secrets of Bolivia are safe with me...until I come back with more friends next time. A warm hug from the Canadian, Rockies...your old stomping ground, right? Cheers!
