The Huayhuash (pronounced why-wash) is a compact range of mountains, which includes Yerupaja, Peru’s second highest mountain. The dramatic, fluted ice peaks which dominate the range have drawn trekkers and mountaineers for years – including Joe Simpson on his ill-fated climbing expedition made famous through “Touching the Void.” Leaving the summits to the climbers, we’ll enjoy our own challenging high altitude adventure, crossing many passes, often over 4,700m/15,500ft, to make the complete circuit. However, with careful acclimatisation around Huaraz before we start and rest days along the way, we’ll be able to fully enjoy the spectacular wild and beautiful landscape of towering peaks, deep glacial valleys, and sparkling blue trout filled lakes. We may see huge condors cruise the thermals, while llamas and vicuña graze on open hillsides.
