Huaraz Hotels - Reviews and Rates

We packed up and left the tranquil town of Tortugas, gased up in Casma and then outside of Casma we turned left onto the road towards Huaraz. The road started out easy a well paved road through expanses of major mineral deposits of mostly iron it looked like. It was kind of like we were driving through a Martian landscape, with all the ground a...

Well, i was sick of being in huaraz, but i still had one day to kill before i started the 'Santa Cruz trek', so i took an organized tour up into the mountains to play in the snow. new years is Holiday time for the residents of Lima, so they flood into huaraz, and thats who was on our trip with us. the ride up to the snow went without incident, ...

Arrived early morning in Huaraz, after our night ride from the coast. Because the bus was a bit late, we saw the sunrise shining off the snowy capped peaks. We escaped from the few touts at the bus station to find our own hotel, and checked into the newish Hostal Inti Wasi (apparently meaning Sun House). A cauld morning developed into a roasting...

The fourth day of Cachinapampa then Vaqueria finely Huaraz. After the breakfast in the morning we started the descend, almost 3 hours we get to Vaqueria.

Kourt Demass was a lot like us in many ways. He loved to travel, loved to party, loved to meet new people and have adventures. I didn't know him but from the tributes to him left by friends and family, the beautiful sculpture made in his remembrance at the Burning Man festival in Arizona, the places he'd travelled to, I have a feeling we would h...

Huaraz is the main town in the Cordillera Blanca, the highest mountain range outside Asia. From there, I took local transport for six hours up a beautiful valley, and began the Santa Cruz trek. It took me four days, carrying everything I needed on my back. The longest day, Day 3, took me 11 hours, and i went over a pass of nearly 16,000 ft. I al...

Thankfully the strike ended pretty quickly. The road we need to travel on is now open so tomorrow we are taking a 5:30 am bus to the village of Chiquian to beging the Huayhuash trek. This trek should take roughly 12-14 days and we will be spending the majority of it above 4000m. We are also planning one side trip in the Huayhuash to see Siula Gr...

On the 6th of May, our first trip to the Andes starts after a great breakfast with papas lionesas, fresh fruits and home-made jam. We are becoming a bit stupid here as we don't have to think of anything - our pickup is already waiting for us in front of the hotel to bring us to our bus station in Lima. For the 8-hours ride to Huaraz in the north...

We made it to Huaraz from Lima, still trying to get used to everything around us. And in my case, trying to live with the fact that i do not speak spanish. Huaraz is a nice laid back trekker-climber town. it is the middle of season, you can hear lots and lots of languages around. our plan is to hike as much as we want to and will be able. First ...

Well, I finally tore myself away from Central America and took a flight south to Lima, capital of Peru, land of llamas, a large chunk of the Andes and the Amazon Basin, and, of course, the birthplace of Paddington Bear (for those of you who remember him). Arriving in Lima, I was surprised that the city is actually quite nice in parts. After vist...
