The range is full of rustic dwellings and Andean people carrying out their agricultural lives, mountain passes as high as 5000 meters with breathtaking views in every direction, and full of the flowers, trees, and animals that call the Andes their home. The Huayhuash is the most physically demanding trek we offer with over 120 kilometers to cover on foot, circumnavigating the entire range.

This challenging and "less traveled" path winds its way from the ruins of Hualycayan on the western slopes of the Peruvian Andes, all the way across the Cordillera Blanca mountain range and down their other side, then back again!

Quilquihuanca / Cojup Trek
12 days - Moderate / Strenuous - $1295

 

June 5 -16 / August 16 - 27

 

The proximity of these two stunning valleys to Huaraz has in no way tarnished their beauty. In fact, they may both be visited less each year than the other popular treks, only because the terrain encountered prevents donkeys from carrying loads the whole way around. The Quilquihuanca / Cojup is a trek for the adventurer, the backpacker (in the true sense of the word as backpacks must be carried for part of the way!), and the seeker of wild & dramatic places.

Olleros to Chavin
9 days - Easy to Moderate - $975

 

Dates programmed as requested

 

Follow one of the pre-Inca trail systems from one side of the Cordillera Blanca to the other. This ancient trail takes you past tiny mud huts where the sturdy mountain dwellers still live, over a high mountain pass, and back down to the historic temples of Chavin. In keeping with the historical significance of the trail, we use the original pack animal of the Andes, the llama, to carry our food and equipment.
