HUAYHUASH CIRCUIT
22 days from GBP2,149 to GBP2,499 including flights
Tripcode: TPH
Countries Visited: Peru
A dramatic high altitude trek in the Andean range made famous in Joe Simpson's 'Touching the Void'
The small yet magnificent Huayhuash Range (pronounced 'why-wash') is richly glaciated, steep and dramatic, and is home to Peru's second highest peak, Yerupaja (6634m). This demanding trek around the range is one of the world's most spectacular mountain circuits, and the true walking enthusiast is rewarded with unequalled views of its turquoise glacial lakes, jagged snow-capped peaks and stunning hanging glaciers that extend thousands of metres from the peaks.
