Cordillera Blanca Treks

Author at Mateo w Huascarán behind

While many people visit the Cordillera Blanca for Day Hikes, it also has several multi-day treks you should consider.

Trekking in the Cordillera Blanca is invariably at high altitude, in remote areas. Be sure that you’re prepared with the right equipment, food and maps before you set out. Be prepared for snow

Several trekking agencies in Huaraz can take you on guided treks, or you can plan your own. If you don’t have your own gear, you can rent in Huaraz.

There is an almost endless list of possible treks in the Cordillera Blanca. Below are just a few of the most popular. Most of these treks are in Huascarán National Park, which means you must pay the park entrance fee of s/30 per day. Tickets can be purchased at any park entrance.
