A very interesting half day hike from Huaraz and a good acclimatisation hike for your first day in Huaraz. From behind Huaraz we hike into the hills, first on an open ridge from where we have great views of all of Huaraz and the surrounding mountains. We then enter a hidden narrow canyon which winds up to the crest of the hills. The canyon is amazing with high walls of clay coloured many different shades of yellows, orange and red. We emerge onto the crest where we have panoramic views of the Macashca Valley and many of the huge snow covered peaks of the Cordillera Blanca. Then follow a good path along the top of the hills & return back to Huaraz. 3 to 4 hours hiking
