HUASCARÁN HUT HIKE 2D/1N
It is a demanding and unique trekking to the Refuge located at a higher altitude 4700 m and below the highest tropical peak of Peru El Huascarán 6768 m. Enjoying the sunset in the Cordillera Negra are unique moments. You spend the night in comfortable rooms completely decorated with wood. The second day, very early, we walked along the Raimondi del Huascarán glacier and then descended by an alternative path to Musho, in the valley.
