Huaraz Lodges - Reviews and Rates

From Lima I took a nice easy 8 hour bus ride north and into the central highlands of Peru to the city of Huaraz. When researching my trip I hadn´t planned to come here because I hadn´t even heard of the region. An idle flick through the Lonely Planet a couple of weeks previous had made me stumble upon this place and I made my decision to give it...

We decided to 'upgrade' to a fancier bus on the 8 hour overnight to Huaraz, and initially was happy with the extra room compared our last torrid experience...that is until the bus broke down at 4am in the middle of nowhere and had to wait until daylight before some help arrived (by luck). Eventually the broken fan belt was patched up with a leng...

Have you ever wondered, Aussies, what mountians higher than 4000m look like. Considering that our highest mountain is only just over 2000m I am sure you are all wondering. Well it is amazing. We are currently staying in Huaraz, a small, popular town in the Andes, Peru. This town is famous for its nearby National park which has over 22 peaks high...

We left sweaty Trujillo on the coast at about 5.30am and got a taxi to the America Express. 2hrs later and semi conscious we arrived in stinky fish town which is a bit rough- Chimbote. Fishbotty they should call this place. Perhaps I should add here that the journey down the PanAmerican is dusty and deserty with mountains here and there. The san...

Sitter inne pa ett datacafe idag, kan inte vara ute i solen mer nu efter att totalt ha brant sonder mitt ansikte pga oforsiktighet. Solen ar riktigt stark och den brande mig pa endast 30 minutersa underbar frukost med panoramavy over de kringliggande bergskedjorna Cordillera negra och Cordillera Blanca. Efter NY sa landade vi i Lima, Perus huvud...

ciao a tutti da Huaraz, 3091 metri slm nella Cordillera Blanca! siamo stati qui quattro giorni e ne e' valsa la pena. La citta' non e' gran che', anzi... e' abbastanza moderna per gli standard sudamericani, piuttosto pulita e tranquilla. E'stata distrutta da terremoto nel 1970 e poi ricostrutita, quindi non conserva nulla di storicamente interes...

Arriving in Huaraz after a 10 hour overnight bus at 6am was a chilly experience. The coldest I have experienced in my 11 months. The town is high, a little over 3000metres and absolutely magic, surrounded by the most amazing peaks, mountains and glaciers as far as the eye can see and this is just from the main plaza! I have returned from an 8 da...

Got the day bus from Trujillo to Huaraz, as recommended by Clara at the hostel that we stayed in as she said that the scenery was amazing and it only took 7/8 hours. It was a hell of a journey. We left Trujillo at 6am, had to change buses at Chimbote (such a dump) and got on a clapped out piece of junk, remisccent of our Bolivia days! The entire...

Hi all, in an effort to write better entries that are more informative and hopefully not quite as long, we are going to try and write slightly more often. That and our bus doesn´t leave until about 9:30 tonight and we have absolutely nothing else to do. You may remember last time we wrote we realized we may be being a bit over ambitious in our t...
