Shumak Huayhuash

Shumak Huayhuash Trek

The circuit of the Huayhuash range of 10 days is a difficult and exhausting hike, but beautiful, quiet and little frequented. Shumak Huayhuash this route is suitable for the most adventurous walker and used to walking on difficult terrain for many hours in a day. Some of the days are quite long, with more than 7 hours of walking and all in high elevations.

The circular route around the impressive Huayhuash range rewards us with views from the San Antonio viewpoint of the most splendid landscapes on earth. But nevertheless the height, the distance and the duration demand certain experience in the participants, a good physical condition and a suitable adaptation to the height. For this we recommend.

Before starting this walk we have the possibility of doing a good acclimatization from Huaraz. For more information or to reserve your place today Contact Us.
