SUBSCRIBEMy boyfriend Luis is Peruvian, we came to Lima for the Christmas Holidays. He knew I would miss the winter atmosphere for that time of the year and suggested that I go to Huaraz in the high mountains of Peru.
We planned the Huaraz Trip about 10 days in advance: booking the Bus Trip, the Hotel and the Trip with the agency. We packed mountain type backpacks and warm clothes, as well as durable hiking shoes.
We went from Panamá to Lima and then from Lima to Huaraz. We spent 3 nights 4 days in Huaraz and for both trips we went by a night bus which was really efficient. (8hours from Lima)
Everything is amazing about Peruvian Food! But for a Mountain kind of trip, I would recommend to try : Emoliente & Hot Wine Beverages in the Streets, Cuy meat, Papa a la Huancaina (Potatoes in a very typical sauce)
Snow falling at our arrival to a Refuge at 4700m on New Year's Eve.
Travelling by bus, nights in a hostel, a local and recommended agency to book excursions with.
Laguna Parón, Laguna Churup & Laguna 69 are must! One of the most beautiful things I´ve ever seen in my life was the Laguna 69 from above.
Warm and waterproof clothes, booking the agency for the mountain trips in advance. Listen to recommendations, trust locals with traffic (restaurants etc..)
