The scenery from Huaraz in northern Peru is nothing short of breathtaking. The town, nestled in the Callejón de Huaylas valley, is surrounded by the impressive mountains of the Cordillera Blanca, a massif of snow-capped peaks and spectacular glaciers. Among these giants, Huascarán, Peru's highest peak, dominates the horizon at 6,768 metres. In Huaraz, hikers and mountaineers from all over the world find an ideal base from which to explore the trails and discover the turquoise lagoons, such as the famous Laguna 69, nestled deep in the mountains. The views from Huaraz are a constant invitation to adventure and discovery, with craggy peaks, misty landscapes in the early morning and brilliant blue skies during the day. The immensity and purity of this natural setting are a reminder of the power of nature, and offer an impressive spectacle at every sunrise and sunset. An unmissable destination for lovers of the mountains and wide open spaces.
