About the Huayhuash Circuit
The Huayhuash Trek, other called the Huayhuash Circuit, is a popular multi-day trek in the Huayhuash Mountain Range (Cordillera Guayhuash), located in Peru, in the Andes Mountains. It's considered to be one of the most beautiful alpine circuit treks in the world due to its proximity to some very high mountains. The Huayhuash Trek itself goes up to 4500-5000m, which means that it's also one of the highest high-alpine multi-day treks in the world. It has recently gained a lot of popularity due to all of the spectacular scenery and fauna that one gets to experience while hiking it.
