This 10-day hike find an
exit via Cajatambo, driving 6 hours on the way to the coast line,
near Pativilca. Once here, buses to Lima (4hrs) or Huaraz (5hrs) are
available at this town at the Pan American highway. Many of
the highest passes are left away from our path, so altitude fitness
is important but not as much.
Day-to-day itinerary:
Huaraz
or Caraz to Chiquian by bus, overnight, meet mule drivers and staff.
Preparation for the trek, camping gear check and rest.
