Amazing Huayhuash Trek

OVERVIEW

The hike to the fast huayhuash, cuyoc pass of 8 days, is suitable for those hikers who are looking for a challenging route and have limited time. This trek is a delightful and remote experience, where seven high passes (all over 4600 m.) Are crossed, especially to the Cuyoc Pass of 5000m. Camping every night above 4000m. When walking it crosses narrow and boxed valleys that form the steepest relief of the Peruvian Andes, and glacial lakes where the mountains are reflected, also shows a series of breathtaking views of the peaks and snows above 6000m.

Keep in mind that there are many possible alternative programs for the walk to huayhuash, with a duration of 6 to 8 days all with different points of entry and exit.
