Cordillera Blanca Trek
Saturday December 29, 2007
Adventure Life offers another trek in the Peruvian mountains: "One of Peru's most sought after treks is the Cordillera Blanca. Compacted into a fairly small area, this region has more than 50 peaks 18,700 feet or higher, including Huascaran, Peru's premier mountain. The Cordillera Blanca offers unforgettable panoramic views of soaring Andean summits. The trek travels through alpine meadows overlooking fluted glacier peaks, pre-Inca trails of paved stonework, challenging passes, flower-filled slopes, cascading rivers, and the Queñual and Quisar tree forests, whose twisted trunks offer testament to the harsh conditions of their environment. Along the journey keep an eye out for peculiar wildlife and enjoy the pure and simple hospitality of the local people."
For details of this 8 day trek, with the trip beginning and ending in Lima, see Cordillera Blanca Trek *10 Day*
