PERU, HUAYHUASH CIRCUIT TREK

Introduction
The Huayhuash Circuit is a highly recommended high altitude, remote 10-day trek in glorious alpine scenery.
It is for those who seek a challenging, beautiful, tranquil and little frequented route. The tiny villages en route look blissfully out of touch with the rest of the world!
Together with the Cordillera Blanca, the Cordillera Huayhuash mountain range is widely reputed to be the best mountain
trekking region in the world outside of the Himalaya and is well supported by the town of Huaraz.
Even for the experienced trekker, this is a mouth watering experience. The basic facts of this trek speak for themselves:
10 days of glorious trekking, remote, it crosses 7 Passes (all over 4600m) and camping every night above 4000m. In
doing so it passes through through lush valleys, emerald glacial lakes and tiny rural villages. Whilst the Inca Trail attracts
the vast majority of attention due to Machu Picchu, it is no trekking match for the Huayhuash Circuit.
This trip flies London – Lima, overnight hotel before driving up to Huaraz to acclimatise. The trek begins at Llamac and
treks what is an anti-clockwise circuit. The first Pass (Punta Cacanan, 4750m) comes immediately on Day 2 and after
that, they just keep on coming with a rest day in amongst it all when needed.
There is a final night in Huaraz before driving back to Lima (overnight hotel) and your return flight to the UK.

you covered.
No supplements to extend - in conjunction with the above, we charge

the extended trip such as accommodation/transport, etc...
Low Minimum Numbers
Your protection.....peace of mind!
Our trips are perfect for solo travellers wishing to book on their
own to join a trip which is guaranteed at an early stage.

Important:
Whilst the above itinerary is the intended aim of this trip, a variety
of factors may force changes. Adventure trips of this nature, which
include (but not restricted to) adverse weather conditions, political
instability and difficulties with transportation, may all cause plans to be
changed and are out of our control or that of the Guide. Any changes
affecting the group will be explained but ultimately the subsequent
action will be the Guide’s decision with safety and the original aim in
mind.
Furthermore, our trips do carry inherent risk as they as they are
invariably carried out in remote, mountainous (high altitude) or desert
conditions where professional medical assistance is not immediately
available.
A good degree of flexibility, patience, robustness, understanding and
‘go with the flow’ attitude is often what is required.
If you are not willing to accept these type of conditions or risks then
these trips are perhaps not for you.

Trip Details
Sole Occupation
Group Size and Low Number Guaranteed Status
Please refer to the ‘dates and prices’ section on the web site for the
optional supplement.
Sole occupation is available if requested.
Our treks are generally run with smaller numbers ensuring a more
personal and efficient service throughout. With these smaller group
sizes, our guides are able to better care for each individuals needs and
abilities, working at their pace to achieve greater success and a far better
experience.
Larger groups are also catered for with additional guides and support
to provide the same guide:client ratio and therefore the same positive
experience.
Most of our trips are guaranteed with numbers as low as 2. This
allows us to guarantee your trip at a very early stage if not immediately
upon booking. Once you receive your confirmation letter, your trip is
guaranteed to run and will not be cancelled due to low numbers at a later
date.
Flight Inclusive or Land Only
We offer both flight inclusive and Land Only packages to suit the
individual.
Flight inclusive clients will be met at Lima’s airport on arrival and receive
a complimentary transfer to the group hotel.

+44 1529 488 159
+44 7725 943 108
PERU, HUAYHUASH CIRCUIT TREK
page 5
4000m, uses camp sites at about the same altitude throughout (max
4300m).
Trekking at altitude is not something that should worry you as the
human body is capable of adapting to higher altitudes if some simple
rules are followed.
General Information
Kit and Equipment
We take this subject very seriously and strongly advise you to read the
more detailed information on our Information/High Altitude webpage.
We provide an Equipment List for each of our holidays. These highlight
any specialised equipment you will require and also act as a packing
check list. Go to our Kit Lists webpage.
Fitness
Guidance on Tipping
This trip is classed as Challenging. There are 7 Passes, all over 4600m,
which can take their toll over time. In general terms, a good level of
fitness based on the ability to walk at your own comfortable pace for up
to 6 hrs a day (with rest stops), for several consecutive days carrying a
day sack weighing approx 6kg is all that is required.
This can always be an emotive and tricky subject.
If you are in any doubt about whether you are fit enough, please consult
us prior to booking.
Spending Money
The Perivian Sole (sl) is the currency of Peru and is obtainable only in
Peru.
Money changing is big business in Peru so be wary. They use the US$ a
lot as they make money on the exchange rate. Keep low denominations
of the Sole (10’s and 20’s) and don’t accept anything larger than the 50.
You will find anything higher difficult to change.
Take US$ as opposed to £UK; the latter are difficult to change. Foreign
exchange rates seem to apply to currencies other than the US$. Take
NEW US$ and nothing over US$50 notes.
There are ATM’s in Huaraz and credit cards are acceptable in most
places.
Watch some restaurants; prices often do not include the VAT and
Service charges.
It is recommended that you carry a credit card for emergencies.
Baggage Allowance
You are not formally limited to a weight allowance on trek. Your
international airline baggage allowance will naturally restrict you to a limit,
of what you take. By the time you extract items to leave behind in the
hotel whilst you trek, your trek bag will weigh approx 10 - 12 kg plus your
daypack at about 6 - 7 kg.
The hotel in Huaraz will happily store a bag containing items not required
on trek until you return. It will be secure, however we recommend that
you do not leave any valuables behind as these should be carried with
you at all times.
A Typical Day
Shortly after breakfast you will set off trekking for the day. Rest stops are
as and when required.
Lunch is a packed meal en route.
Tea and biscuits are normally served shortly after arriving at the next
night stop with the evening meal served later on.
Distance in the mountains is generally measured in hours and not
kilometres/miles. Expect to walk on average 6 - 7 hrs a day; some days
are longer.
Common sense has to prevail.
You are strongly advised to discuss the tipping with your fellow trekkers
well in advance of the end of the trek, indeed maybe even pre-trek in
Huaraz as you will need to have the cash with you in order to hand out.
Tip in local currency and in cash.
Our advice is to put between £30 - £40 (local equivalent) per trekker
into the pot, give that to the Guide (as one lump sum) and allow him to
distribute. Don’t get involved in that! You can alter that figure up or down
as you see fit.
Resist the urge to go too high. You must always remember that this does
not form part of their wages and the cost of living is much lower than
your own so any tip will represent a nice bonus.
Guide and Support Staff
Our Guides in Peru are english speaking, qualified, personable and have
a wealth of experience. Whilst the Guide is your main point of contact,
the Camp Chef and porters will also be with you throughout your time on
trek.
Weather
In general terms, during the main trekking season, you will be
trekking in a moderately warm environment whilst the sun is up
(approx 20 deg C); as soon as it goes down, the temperature will
drop quickly (down to single figures overnight and potentially below
freezing at the higher altitudes).
Shorts/trousers and a T-shirt will be the standard style of dress on a daily
basis. You should carry warmer clothing for the higher altitudes when
something warmer will be needed. In the evenings you will require several
layers of clothing.
Carry your waterproof clothing with you all of the time. If it rains, it could
be heavy and drying clothing at altitude is virtually impossible.
The simple rule of thumb is to be well prepared for all weathers.
Vaccinations and Medical
You should visit your doctor and dentist during the run up to your trip
for a general check up and to discuss the most up to date requirements
regarding vaccinations and medication you may require. You can also
seek advice online by visiting fitfortravel.
You should carry your own medical kit to cover your personal needs. The
Guide will also be carrying a small medical kit. An itemised list to assist
you is included on our Information/travel health webpage.
Visa and Passport Requirements
Passports should be valid for a minimum period of 6 months on the date
on entry into Peru.
You are required to complete an immigration form on entry into Peru.
Keep this form as you will also require it on departure.
No formal visa is required.
For reference, this is the UK’s FCO Travel Advice for Peru.
Travel Documents
In addition to carrying your documents, (passport and travel documents
are examples) you are advised to have a back up if they get lost or are
stolen. We would recommend that you carry a colour photocopy of the
documents and ask a friend to carry the copies. Make sure that they
are protected from the elements and general wear. Clear plastic bags or
lamination are good enough. You can also scan the documents before
you travel and make them accessible using one of the many facilities
available these days such as iCloud or use a web based e-mail server
such as Hotmail or Yahoo. Alternatively, carry a portable hard drive or
memory stick with you.

Insurance
Huaraz
It is a condition of joining any of our trips that you are insured against
medical and personal accident risks (to include repatriation costs, air
ambulance and helicopter rescue services). We also recommend that
your policy includes cover for delayed/missed departure and cancellation
insurance, as all deposits paid are non-refundable. Please ensure that
your insurer is aware of your full itinerary and that you are covered for the
activities being undertaken and maximum altitude you will be achieving.
Huaraz is the hub of this region, mainly used as a base for trekking,
mountain biking and snow activities for the mountain regions close by.
You are asked to provide proof of your policy details and a completed
Insurance Declaration, together with your Emergency Details Form
(provided) no later than one month prior to travel.
We strongly recommend that you take out your travel insurance as
soon as you make your booking in order to gain the full benefits of
the policy (ie cancellation).
If you have an annual policy in place with your bank for example, you
should check that the cover is adequate for your trip.
For further information, advice and companies, go to our travel insurance
webpage.
Cultural Insite
Peru is best known for its links to the Inca Empire but due to its
geography, is now hugely diverse. This Spanish speaking country’s
habitats range from arid Pacific coastal plains to the peaks of the
mountains (and they are high) to the Amazon rain forest. As a result,
modern developing communities exist along side ancient cultures deep
into the country. Wikipedia is a good source of information.
This is mainly a Catholic country (around 80%).
As the oldest civilisation is South America, Peruvians are proud of their
long history and it is no secret that tourism has developed and increased
on the back of it.
Democracy has been with Peru for two decades now so this is a well
developed country.
Lima
The capital of Peru with around 10 million people, it is the international
gateway to the country.
It has developed its tourist industry well and established restuarants,
bars, museums, festivals and the nightlife to match. Its beaches are well
visited in the summer months.
Tours are available as with most major city so do your homework prior to
arrival and perhaps decide how best to use your time.
Most of our trips spend 2 nights here and on your departure back to
London, you should have most of the day to explore before your evening
flight.
info@travelandtrek.com
It sits at an altitude of just over 3000m and has about 120,000
inhabitants so it’s not a huge place. It is however, more than adequate to
begin and finish your trek and has facilities to match.
Electrical Supply
The country’s electricity supply is 220v, 60Hz.
Both the round 2-pin European continental plugs are used as well as the
2-pin flat prong type used in the USA.
There are no charging facilities on the trek (no electricity at all).
Communications
Communications are good in Peru. Landline (hotels), mobiles and internet
facilities are all available.
The quality of mobile signals (and supplier) cannot be guaranteed.
Mobile coverage in the mountains is sparodic and dependent on your
location.
Use of mobiles on trek - please be considerate. The intrusion of mobile
calls and/or texts can destroy that environment. By all means use your
mobile but move out of camp and earshot of others.
Know Before You Go!
As a reputable tour operator, Travel and Trek Limited is a partner of the
FCO’s Know Before You Go! campaign. The campaign was introduced to
assist and advise British citizens in their preparations for their journeys
overseas and to stay safe and healthy while abroad. We strongly
recommend that you take a look at the FCO Know Before You Go
website prior to travelling for all the latest information by following this.
T+T treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important
aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did
not consider reasonably safe. Should the FCO advise against travel
for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss
the situation. We receive regular updates direct from the FCO and are
in constant touch with our contacts on the ground. If you have any
questions about government travel advice, please call our office.
Reference Books and Maps
There are many books available as well as detailed web information
should you wish to read up on your destination before your visit.
If you wish to purchase maps prior to arrival, try Stanfords of London.
