Introduction
This web page shows photos from a 15 day trekking and climbing trip in the Cordillera Huayhuash in the Peruvian Andes. Starting and ending at the mountain village of Llamac, this trekking route encircles of a knot of 6000m Andean peaks, of which Yerupaja is the highest, at 6617m. In addition to the trekking, the trip included climbs of two mountain peaks above 5000m, these being Pumarini (5465m) and Diablo Mudo (5350m).
The trek was organised by Peruvian Andes Adventures. The trekking party comprised six clients (Bill, Patricia, Lorin, Lisa, Kendy and I) plus our guide Marco, our cook Alfonzo, ably assisted by Edita, Chato and three donkey drivers. It was a fantastic trip among wonderful landscapes and people.
