Things to Do in Peruvian Andes -- Central

+ Add a Photo

V!VA User‘s Description

This stunning region offers thrills for the most experienced adrenaline junkies and most demanding outdoor enthusiasts. There is no shortage of trails to backpack on, and there is no trek that can fully encompass the area. Towering glaciers and deep valleys balance each other perfectly.

Spend the day ice climbing. Or if speed is more appealing, excite your heart with a challenging day of mountain biking. Take a break with an introspective tour of area ruins. Finally, end the day recounting your adventures with a relaxing drink in front of a fire.

The glacier-topped Cordillera Blanca is the main climbing and hiking center of Peru. Mountain biking, horseback riding, river rafting and canoeing are also popular activities in this area. Most tours are multi-day and all should include gear, food, transportation and guides.

If you plan to book a tour locally, head to Llanganuco where you can acclimatize as you hunt for the best deal. International operators also offer tours of this magnificent peak.

WARNING: Be alert to the threat of avalanches and mudslides before setting out to the mountains or taking trips in the area. Check locally to find out which areas should be avoided.
