| CORDILLERA
HUAYHUASH (Cont.)
This
compact range is just under 30km in length from north to south,
and yet it has seven peaks over 6,000m (19,686ft), the highest
of which is Yerupajá at 6634m (21,759ft).
Many
hikers consider it even more spectacular than the Cordillera
Blanca, and it is certainly more remote and challenging. The
peaks all seem to have towering, vertical ice-covered faces on
all sides!
The
major town and traditional starting point for hiking is Chiquián.
There are other options for getting into and out of the
Huayhuash area.
