Around Huaraz


With dozens of places in Huaraz offering excursions, I decided to see if I would still be able to do some climbing following a hiatus of nearly 5 years. With full equipment rental and a guide costing just $15 for half a day, we chose to do some short routes right near town.
A couple of easy routes helped to restore some confidence. Also near Huaraz--above the town of Yungay-- is the Parque Nacional  Huascaran. It is host to the beautiful Laguna Llanganuco (below), as well as some beautiful mountain wildflowers.
