The Huayhuash Trek 10 Days is widely ranked among the Top 5 trekking routes on Earth—and for good reason. This complete circuit threads dramatic high-altitude passes, mirror-calm turquoise lakes, and valleys guarded by the snow-capped giants of the Peruvian Andes.
Designed for trekkers who want the full Huayhuash experience, it balances big-mountain drama with time to acclimatize, so every day delivers clear panoramas and unhurried moments in nature.
Our “Breathtaking Views” edition focuses on the circuit’s most iconic perspectives: close-up encounters with Yerupajá (6,617 m), Siula Grande, and Jirishanca; sunrise reflections at Carhuacocha; and the legendary lookouts above Jahuacocha. Along the way, you’ll pass through quiet valleys and traditional Quechua communities, supported by a professional local team, small-group logistics, and the premium service that defines Inkaland Treks.

This section includes key travel information, trek preparation tips, and logistics details, helping you get ready for an unforgettable high-Andean expedition.
________________________________________
✈️ Getting to Huaraz

________________________________________
📋 Pre-Trek Briefing in Huaraz
To ensure everything is clear and well-organized before the expedition, we offer a detailed pre-trek briefing in Huaraz 📝✨:
• 📅 When: Usually held the day before the trek (or upon arrival, depending on your schedule).

________________________________________
🧭 Altitude & Acclimatization
The Huayhuash Circuit reaches altitudes of up to 5,000 m / 16,400 ft, so proper acclimatization is key:
• Spend 2–3 days in Huaraz before the trek doing short acclimatization hikes (e.g., Wilcacocha, Churup, Llaca).
• Mild symptoms like shortness of breath or light headaches are common and usually temporary.
• Walk slowly, stay hydrated, and let your body adjust naturally.
👉 We can help organize acclimatization day hikes prior to your trek.
________________________________________
🛡 Travel Insurance – Mandatory
For your safety and peace of mind, travel insurance is mandatory for all participants joining our Huayhuash trekking programs.
Your insurance should cover at minimum:
• 🧭 High-altitude trekking (up to 5,000 m / 16,400 ft)
• 🚑 Emergency medical evacuation and repatriation
• 💊 Medical treatment & hospital costs
• 🧳 Trip interruption or cancellation (recommended)
👉 Please bring a printed or digital copy of your insurance policy and emergency contact numbers to the pre-trek briefing in Huaraz.
👉 If you don’t have insurance yet, we can recommend reliable international providers that cover trekking expeditions in Peru.
✅ This is an essential requirement to ensure that you’re protected in case of illness, accident, or any unforeseen event during the trek.
________________________________________

The 10-day Huayhuash Trek is a high-altitude, multi-day expedition, and preparation is essential:
• 🏔 Good acclimatization before starting the trek helps avoid altitude sickness.
