Huayhuash Peru

Siula

BRIEF REVIEW

Huayhuash is the third most outstanding trek in Peru. A great trail in the Northern part of the Andes, the Cordillera Huayhuash, that limits with Ancash, Huanuco and Lima. The Cordillera Huayhuash is also known as the mirrors of the sky because of the view of mountains and lakes, located between the Cordillera Blanca and Raura.This trail has been during centuries a road of communications which once belonged to the system of the Inca trails of North Peru in the Tahuantinsuyo know as the Chinchaysuyo. The main Inca trail went parallel to the north part going across the Nupe River and coming out in Cajatambo to the coast ending in Pativilca or Paramonga. This trek goes through valleys and lakes, making a great view of landscapes with mountains and a special mystic feeling to be away from civilization. Even though, that in the last few years, the advance of communications have made roads in some parts that use to be the trail. Also this mountain range has been the direct participant of a movie "Touch in the Void". The trail goes in the deep part of the Andes, having a good view of this range with spectacular scenery and able to see the Yerupaja (second highest peak of Peru), Jirishanca, Suila, Carnicero, Cuyoc and the west part of the Raura range. Lakes such as Mitucocha, Carhuacocha, Jahuacocha which will leave a great memory of this trip.
