Macashca Hills Hike
Escape from the regular tourist destinations with lovely hill walk close to Huaraz. We start with a short drive into the agricultural Macashca Valley where you can also see the small hydroelectric scheme. We hike climbing steadily up a large grass covered hillside through open farmland to reach a spectacular saddle at 4200m with fantastic views of the snowcapped Cordillera Blanca peaks, Huascaran, the dry Cordillera Negra and over Huaraz. An excellent acclimatisation hike with not much road travel needed.
