Itinerary:
Considered within one of the more beautiful circuits of trekking of the world, in Huayhuash still it is possible to perceive the real sense of the adventure in the Peruvian Andes. During these days it is possible to observe several of the mountains that shape this mountain chain and also, from Chiquian, you will see the dangerous walls that belong to the cordillera which are worldwide known because of their difficult ascent (you will find here the Siula grande west face-20, 814 ft. – 6,344 m. famous after the dramatic survival story the British alpinist Joe Simpson wrote in his book "Touch to the void"). It is also possible to see the Jirishanca (19,993 ft.- 6,094 m. once climbed by Ricardo Cassin in 1964), Rondoy (19,259 ft. – 5,871 m.), once climbed by Walter Bonatti) and Yerupaja Chico (21,765 ft. – 6,634 m.) for Reinhold Messner in 1966. The Yerupaja Mountain is the highest Peruvian mountain after Huascaran and one of the most difficult to climb.

Camp.
Day 2. - From Matacancha, we will promote to the first pass Cacananpunta, elevated to 4.700 m. The change of landscapes with respect to other mountain ranges in Peru is always interesting in this place, the clear valleys green dominate all the surroundings.

Day 4. - Carhuacocha, third pass , Carnicero (4,600m.) and descend to the town of Huayhuash . (3,400 m.) 7 hours altogether. This day is most extensive and perhaps from greater effort, but at the same time he is most beautiful of the circuit. We crossed slopes that approach hanging glaciers of the Yerupaja this (6.634 m.) and the Siula grande, 6.344 m. The continuous avalanches make resound calm waters of the lakes located on the feet of these mountains. This zone our guides decide on an alternating route very little frequented, so the views very little known in this sector will cause that our visit really is worth the pain.
Day 5. - Ascent to the fourth pass, portachuelo 4.750 m.) descend towards beautiful Viconga lake ( 4.407 m.). From the camping, we can accede in about 20 minutes towards the natural thermal baths that exist in the place.
