Reception. Transfer from the bus station to the hotel. Full-day excursion to Callejon de Huaylas. You will visit several villages, like Carhuas, Recuay, Caraz, Yungay.

Breakfast. Full-day excursion to Chavín de Huántar, the fortress temple with a labyrinth of tunnels and culverts built around 800 B.C. It is one of the oldest archaeological sites of Peru.
This excursion will also enable you to admire the wild beauty of the Andes, while passing by the Querococha Lake, crossing the Cordillera Blanca, and by driving through the high-mountain tunnel of Cahuish. (B/L)
Breakfast. Hike the slopes of the snow–capped mountain of Pastoruri. Setting out to Huascaran National Park, this excursion takes you through some of the world’s most beautiful and unique mountain wilderness, with stops along the way for photos of the glacial peaks and the Puya de Raimondii plants — the strange giant bromeliads, native to only a few isolated Andean regions, which flower only once during their century-long life span and thrust up to 40 feet high (12m) from a rosette base of sharp spike leaves. Driving the switchback road over the Huarapasca Pass, you arrive at the parking area a little more than a mile (2km) from Pastoruri’s glacial slope. The trek takes 30 minutes to an hour to reach the magnificent field of ice and snow, where you stand at an altitude of nearly 17,000 feet (5240m.a.s.l.) (B)
