PERUVIAN CORDILLERA TREKS

Enjoy world-class trekking in the most awe-inspiring range in the Andes Mountains.

Peru is home to more than the amazing ruins of the Incan Empire – it is also where the second highest mountain range in the world towers above rain forests and grasslands. The Andes are a trekking paradise with towering, glaciated mountains; absolutely stunning alpine valleys, lakes, rivers and meadows; unique wildlife; and indigenous cultures still living traditional lifestyles.

The Cordillera Huayhuash specifically is a compact mountain range within the greater Andes Mountains that offers absolutely world-class trekking. Many of its snow-capped peaks soar well over 20,000 feet, creating deep, glacial-carved valleys where rivers plunge out of the mountains. We offer a portered trek in this stunning region – our Cordillera Huayhuash Trek. This trip is an all-inclusive, portered camping trip that takes you through the heart of some of the most impressive mountain scenery in the world!

We invite you to read more about our Cordillera Trek below, and please don’t hesitate to call us at 1-800-715-HIKE (4453) with any questions or to book a spot today!
