HUAYHUASH
THHYH

This small (30km) mountain range is probably one of the most spectacular in Peru. It has 6 peaks over 6000m and 15 over 5400m, among them the second highest mountain in Peru - Yerupaja (6634m). Sparkling glacier lakes, streams, forests and wildlife are also a feature of this region. Our trek take us past the wild summits of Jirishanca, Rondoy and Siula - mountains that are not climbed very often but which are goals for the best climbers of the world. We camp close to the beautiful lakes of Jahuacocha and Carhuacocha and if you feel like eating trout, we can offer you an evening's fishing.
