Explore Huaraz & Cordillera Huayhuash Trekking..
Huaraz Cordillera Huayhuash–The City of Huaraz is the restless capital of this Andean adventure kingdom and its rooftops command exhaustive great panoramas of the city’s dominion: one of the most impressive mountain ranges in the world. Nearly wiped out by the earthquake of 1970, Huaraz is not going to win any Andean-village beauty contests anytime soon, but it does have personality, and personality goes a long way. Dip into the thermal baths Baños Termales de Monterrey. A series of small wells and two large pools have mineral-rich waters that make the water look dark brown and rather unappealing. Take a tour to admire the Pastoruri’s mountain beauty, and the other rugged mountains, glistening lochs, breathtaking vistas.
When hearing about Huaraz it is to hear of the Cordillera Huayhuash, which is a tightly bunched, sensational 18-mile long collection of high peaks in the Peruvian Andes. This trekker’s paradise is remote, wilderness, and stunningly gorgeous. The range is the home of Siula Grande ice peak (20,814′), the location of the famous mountaineering movie and book “Touching the Void.” Camp next to stunningly beautiful alpine lakes and in broad, grassy valleys with wildflowers and rushing alpine creeks. Get staring in awe up at the soaring, snow-laden Andes giants that tower above the trails and campsites with peaks at elevations above 20,000 feet! A journey around the entire range has more than 100 miles of hard, exhilarating walking, where thin-air passes link jagged mountains, azure lakes and vast skies. There are no less than 8 passes to cross, which ranges to 17,060 feet–Cordillera Huayhuash Loop Trekking. Let us make your adventure dreams happened – and when you are done, just sit back and re-live the memories over a perfect Pisco Sour.
Since 2014 and since the very first day of our operation, Peru Summit Adventures has been blazing new ways of experiencing in Huaraz and Cordillera Huayhuash Trekking. Our trailblazing is just one reason we are a uniquely qualified local company to ensure you have a trip of a lifetime.

An Unforgettable Experience With Peru Summit Adventures
“I just returned from an 10-day trip to Peru with my wife and three adult kids, all through Peru Summit Adventures. When I started planning the trip 16 months ago, I looked at several tour companies, ultimately deciding that I wanted to support a local family-owned business rather than a larger international company. Founder/owner Carlos […]”

Highly recommend!!
“We booked a day trip to Machu Picchu. Although once here we realised we could have pieced it altogether ourselves, it was so worth booking ahead for peace of mind. Everything was so efficiently sorted by Carlos. Hotel pick up ( bang on time – and hotel recommended for shortest walk) , arrival at coach […]”

William was the BEST tour guide ever!
“William with Peru Summit Adventures made our Peru trip unforgettable! We did a customized tour of various attractions around Cusco (Maras salt mines, Moray circular terraces, Ollantaytambo Inca site, etc.) and William was the BEST guide through it all. He was unbelievably knowledgeable about every site and so friendly — we felt so comfortable around […]”

We got to see all the best sites in the sacred valley and even had some bonus facts/stops, like eating the best empanadas in Pisac! The tour is adjustable based on […]”

10 of 5 Stars!!!
“This is going to be a long review, because Peru Summit Adventures deserves it. After speaking with several large international tour companies, we ultimately decided to work with a local Peru-based company, Peru Summit Adventures—and it was one of the best decisions we made for this trip. From our very first conversations, Carlos spent a […]”

意外但难忘的秘鲁之旅An Unexpected but Unforgettable Peru trip
“这次秘鲁之旅真的多亏了 Peru Summit Adventures。不巧我太太在行程中受了伤，原定的多日徒步只能取消。当时我们挺沮丧的，但老板 Carlos 和团队反应非常快，不仅一直在鼓励我们，还迅速帮我们改了轻松的替代行程。Carlos 甚至特地跑来酒店看望我太太，让我们非常感动。在他们的周到照顾下，我们最终顺利登上了马丘比丘，圆了心愿！如果去秘鲁，找他们绝对靠谱。再次谢谢 Carlos 和团队！ I cannot thank Peru Summit Adventures enough. My wife unfortunately injured her foot, so we had to cancel our multi-day trek. We were pretty stressed, but Carlos (the owner) and his team were so quick to help. They came up with an alternative plan right away, […]”
