Chavín Trail 45K
Despite its incredible beauty, the route from Olleros to Chavín is one of the least known in the Cordillera Blanca. With gentler slopes, well-marked trails, and stunning topography, the Chavín Trail is one of the best hikes within Huascarán National Park.
Typically done as a three-day trek, accompanied by llamas, this 45km route crosses the Andes from west to east, traversing a high mountain pass at Punta Yanashallash (4,700 m).
