Peru Guide : The Huaraz Area > North of Huaraz

The most visited part of the Cordillera Blanca is the area to the north of Huaraz, where the highest peaks in the range are located and some of the most beautiful scenery is found. There are many wonderful treks in this area as well as some excellent climbing opportunities. There are excellent transport connections up and down the valley as far as Caraz on a good paved road, although transport is less frequent beyond Caraz and from the valley into the mountains.
