Peru’s Cordillera Huayhuash, together with its larger and better-known northern neighbour, the Cordillera Blanca, provides arguably the best trekking and climbing in the whole of South America. Only a little over 25 miles from north to south, the Huayhuash is a remarkable mountain group, which includes a host of spectacular peaks, culminating in the mighty Yerupaja, at 6634m, the second highest peak in Peru. The typically knife-edged ridges and fluted ice faces of the Huayhuash peaks make for some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the world.
