HUARAZ - PERU
 
 
 
 

"A hidden treasure" The Huayhuash circuit is considered one of the most beautiful routes in the world with glaciated peaks, carpeted green valleys and trout-filled lakes. The name Huayhuash is derived from Quechua, the native language of Peru that means "weasel," a cunning and agile animal of the Andes. The circuit has much to offer in terms of interesting history, geography, ecology, culture and adventure activities.
