Corderilla Blanca
This is a top pick! Arriving into Huaraz at 6am after the sleepless overnight bus trip up from Lima, I was exhausted and disoriented. I don't usually go with the touts, but this time I was too exhausted to look on my own and I took the risk. He took me to a dodgy but cheap ...
Santa Cruz Trail, Corderilla Blanca
This is a top pick! Another early start got us underway on a 4 hour bus trip up to the trailhead. It was another one of those 'I'm in Peru' moments. The bus was filled to the brim with locals, trekkers, bags of vegetables and a piglet in a small hession sack which managed to ...

Day Two
Aaah, Day Two and dinner from the previous night is already causing trouble for me. I force down some breakfast so that I will have some energy for the day´s walk, which should be particularly difficult since we will be climbing over a kilometer in ...

Why do I have green icicles hanging from my nose?
I breath heavy as I kick my crampon hard into the snow and take another step into the night. The moon hangs full in the sky, lighting our way and making my heaplamp just another weight to carry. The guide knows his way and has his beam scanning ...
