Huayhuash Alpine Circuit 15 Days
A spectacular route. The Alta Vía de Huayhuash tries to embrace the mountains from very close, leaving your mouth open with its spectacular views along the entire route.

During this trekking, the beauty of the mountains, the majestic and delicate flight of the Andean Condor makes the hearts of visitors flutter.
