Huaraz Area, Peru

Displayed:   times.

Huaraz is the most important climbing, trekking and backpacking centre in Peru. The city of Huaraz has seen better days but the surrounding mountains, however, are exceptionally beautiful, and many travellers come to Peru specifically to visit the Huaraz area.

The Andes around Huaraz offer a wide range of attractions, the most evident of which are the many permanently glaciated peaks. The climbing and hiking season runs May to September. There are also glacial lakes, hot springs and Inca and pre-Inca archeological sites, most notably Chavín de Huántar.
