Sun washed over the tent. A quick breakfast was fired up on the stove and camp was broken down. It was time to begin the days trekking. I was stoked....

Upon leaving for this adventure I had some lofty goals for the time spent in Huaraz. I was set on completing the Huayhuash (Why-Wash) circuit. A grueling 9-12 day trek through the Cordillera Huayhuash Mountains in the Andes. Arriving in Huaraz with this goal in mind I immediately investigated the viability of completing what is widely regarded to as one of, if not the best mountain trek in the world.

After a quick 2 days in Lima  (We will be passing through multiple times in the future) we hopped on an overnight bus to Huaraz. At 3100m/10000ft above sea level this small city at the foot of the Andes is the base of operations for some of the world's best trekking.
