ALPAMAYO TREK

<< back <<

Alpamayo: Strenuous trek but wellworth the effort!
This trek goes through many rural villages and shows beautiful mountain scenery. Highlight is the Northface of Mount Alpamayo, considered by many as the most beautiful mountain in the world.
Depending on the chosen route, chosen trailend and side-treks, the trek can take anything from 7 to 12 days
We describe the 7-day version from Hualcayan to Pomabamba. Alternatively we can also arrange to return to Cashapampa through the Santa Cruz Valley (10 days) or to Carhuaz through the Ulta Valley (12 days).
The Cedros(start) and Alpamayo Valley are a lot less visited than any other Valley in the region. You'll meet very few people on the way and if you don't happen to go in July or August, you might have the trail and campsites for your own. (not considering local people of course)

Duration: 9 to 12 days
Highest Altitude: 4.860 m (Punta Osoruri)
Difficulty: Moderate

The city of Huaraz is the hub for all hiking activity in the Cordillera Blanca and Huayhuash, and frequent rural buses transport enthusiasts to a variety of trailheads.

Along the main street of Luzuriaga, colorful billboard signs lend distinction to an otherwise dull facade of street-front shops. Most of these promote tourism in some form, so finding a comfortable day tour, renting hiking gear, or buying souvenirs is as easy as locating the proper agency by identifying its sign out front.

There are lots of shops from supermarkets to the "real" markets. You can even by technical mountaineering gear but expect to pay pretty high prices.

A number of good restaurants (whose status is often elevated to excellent after a long hike) serve up a variety of food and a couple of lively peņas, featuring groups playing the traditional music of the Andes, provide a place to loosen up before or after a strenuous four days' trekking. Peru
