Huaraz
Huaraz is considered the South American capital of climbing and high mountain. Starting point to explorer trails such as Lagoon 69, Llanganuco Lakes and Laguna Churup, which is inside the National Park of Huascarán.The white mountain range is a sample of the Himalayas with incredible natural landscapes, trekkings and mountains. It is part of the Andes mountain range and Unesco Natural Heritage since 1985.
The city has approximately 130,000 inhabitants and concentrates the hotels, restaurants and the best tourist infrastructure of the region.
The best time to visit Huaraz and the Cordillera Blanca Blanca is between April and September, when it is cold and without rain. The peak between June and July. I prefer to go in August, where the weather is still very good, few people and the cost is about 30% less.
HOW TO GET TO THERE.
The starting point is the Peru´s capital, Lima, then just take a bus.It’s approximately 400 KM, 8 hours, US$ 28.00, we went through Cruz del Sur.We arrived at 7:00 am and went to the hostel.Huaraz is at 3,100 meters of altitude so we rest in the moorning and in the afternoon we were walking through the city.
We were walking around the city and due to altitude it was a little difficult. We visited Plaza de las Armas, city cathedral, local market, etc
