Climbing in Peru

Climbing in the Cordillera Blanca

The Cordillera Blanca is a mountain range in Peru which is part of the larger Andes range. It includes 33 major peaks over 5,500 metres (18,040 ft) high and 722 individual glaciers. The highest mountain in Peru, Huascarán of 6,768 metres (22,205 ft), is located here.
The Cordillera Blanca lies entirely inside the region of Ancash, and runs parallel to the Santa River valley on the west. Huascarán National Park, established in 1975, encompasses almost the entire range of the Cordillera Blanca.
