Hello! It’s quite a long bus ride from Lima to Huaraz, and unfortunately there don’t seem to be any domestic flights when we arrive, so I guess we don’t really have another option than booking Movil Bus.

Is the drive actually nice? I’m trying to see it as a fun little day trip, haha!  And do you have any advice on where to sit to get the best views?

I’m also hoping that all the horror stories I’ve read online — buses being delayed for hours, ending up at the bottom of ravines, or even catching fire  — are really the exception and not something that happens all the time! Is bus travel in Peru generally safe and reliable?

Thanks!

Good morning! :)

If our flight lands at 06:55 at Lima Airport, do you think it’s realistic to book a bus at 10:35 from Plaza Norte in Lima?

I’m anticipating a possible flight delay, plus landing, disembarkation, immigration, baggage claim, and the taxi ride to the bus station, etc. 😅

Do you think we’d have enough time, or would you recommend booking a later bus just to be safe?

The bus is with Cruz del Sur.

The later bus with Movil Bus is 12h45 so very late arrival in Huaraz :(

Thanks a lot!

Hello

I’m a hiker and I mainly do multi-day treks. I’ve never done any mountaineering, but I’m actually curious to try it once — something relatively accessible and not too intimidating for a first experience.

I’ve heard about Diablo Mudo, which I could potentially do during my Huayhuash trek, and also Nevado Mateo, which seems to be a reasonably priced one-day trip from Huaraz and easy...

Between the two, which one would you say is the most spectacular, and which one is the easiest for someone with no previous mountaineering experience?

If there are any other one-day climbs with a guide that you think would be even better for a first experience, in the same kind of category, I’d definitely be open to suggestions.

Thank you!

Hello :)

I am totally overwhelmed! 😅 I’ve been studying all the different itineraries and packages for days now — 8, 10, and 12 days!!!

I have 3 comparisons for those who have done both: 😊❤️🧡💛💚

How would you compare them? Some agencies choose one or the other. I really want to go through Siula — would I be disappointed if they chose Carnicero instead?

2. Santa Rosa viewpoint vs. San Antonio viewpoint

How would you compare them? San Antonio is supposed to offer one of the best views on the entire Huayhuash Circuit, but some agencies choose the nearby Santa Rosa Pass instead, which offers a different angle.

3. Trapecio Pass vs. Cuyoc Pass (and then Viconga) Which route would you recommend, and why?

Thanks so much for your help! 😊 You have no idea how much this helps me! ❤️

Hello :)

Should we do the Huayhuash trek

1. in mid-June

2. at the beginning of July

3. at the beginning of August

to have the best weather — no rain, blue skies, and maybe a little less cold, haha?

Thanks so much! 🏔️☀️

Hello everyone!

Bonjour tout le monde !

I am totally overwhelmed! 😅 I have been studying all the packages for days. Prices for a 10-day Huayhuash trek seem to range from $650 to $1,450.. Such a big difference between agencies!!

I don’t mind paying a bit more for good food, quality camping equipment, and a well-organized trek.

Initially, I had decided to go with InkaLand, but their prices have gone up dramatically for 2027! So now I’m looking at Eco Ice, Quechuandes, Conchucos Explorer, Andes Trek and First step Expedition… among others

Could you please share your recommendations for a good, reliable agency? I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have actually done the trek with them recently :)

This is truly the trip of a lifetime for me — I’ve dreamed of doing Huayhuash for years! ❤️🏔️

Thank you so much for any advice or personal experiences
