Yungay

Closest to Huascarán

Campo Santo Yungay

This small town is the closest to Huascarán and the most popular peaks of the Cordillera Blanca. It has very limited options for food and lodging, but if you don’t want the extra drive to and from Huaraz for your mountaineering, consider this as an alternative base.

The town was completely buried in the 1970 earthquake that destroyed most of Huaraz, and has been rebuilt 1.5km north of the previous town.

Yungay is the closest town to the popular Lake 69 and the Llanganuco - Santa Cruz trekking route.
