A two-week trek run out of Huaraz, taking in epically beautiful scenery: alpine valleys, glacial lakes, snow capped mountains. See where Joe Simpson "touched the void", from the comfort of a valley-floor campsite, but be prepared for long days and thin air.

Most of the local agencies along the main street running to the Plaza offer trips, as do KE Adventure Travel, Journey Latin America etc if you're time pressed and need to organise before you get there.

Green idyll below the bustle of the city centre. Benches, nooks and little havens for reading and relaxing, and the greenhouses for when the weather's not so friendly.

Good tablet in the shop at the main gate too.

Queen Mother's memorial is spectacularly kitsch - walk into the little stone hut and look up. You'll wonder why anybody thought that was a good idea...
