Nestled in Peru’s adventure capital, Huaraz delivers world-class mountain experiences without the tourist crowds. The crown jewel is the 10-day Huayhuash Circuit – a challenging but rewarding trek through some of South America’s most dramatic peaks. I love the Lake 69 day hike for its turquoise waters and snow-capped vistas – it’s perfect for acclimatizing and testing your hiking legs.

The Nevado Pastoruri Glacier tour stands out for combining high-altitude scenery with up-close views of the rare Puya Raimondi plants. History buffs shouldn’t miss the ancient stone carvings at Chavín de Huántar, an impressive pre-Inca site that’s easily accessible on a day trip.

Let’s explore these outstanding mountain adventures, starting with my favorite routes.
