Follow in the footsteps of Joe 'Touching the Void' Simpson and trek around this stunning, remote mountain range. Although you may want to avoid the near-death crawl across a glacier.
Quite challenging walking circuit (10-14 days), over 5,000 metres at one point, with the most amazing mountain views you will ever see. Don't miss the natural hotspring where you can soak weary limbs surrounded by a cirque of spiky peaks about half way round the circuit.
There are loads of trekking agencies in Huaraz where you can hire tent, stove, food and a donkey to carry it all for you!
